Let's say the revision of your directory was r11. You committed a
file which created r12 in the repository. "svn ls" uses the revision
of the directory you're in when it queries the repository, by
default. So "svn ls" would show you info about r11 of the repository.
"svn up" will bring all elements in the directory, including the
directory, up to the HEAD revision of the repository, which, if you
haven't made any other changes, is still r12. "svn ls" will now tell
you baout revision 12 of the repository.

Use "svnversion" to determine if you're in a mixed-revision working
copy. If you are, it will print more than one number.
Also try "svn info" which will show you the revision of the item on
which you ran the command, or the current directory if you did not
specify.
If you ran "svn up" at the root of your working copy, then your
entire working copy is of a single revision -- until you next commit
something. If, however, you ran "svn up" in a subdirectory of your
working copy, then everything in that subdirectory is of a single
revision, but its parent directory and any other subdirectories may
well still be of other revisions.
