I'm not familiar with a message that your working copy *may* be out-
of-date. I *am* familiar with a message that your working copy *is*
out-of-date, and it is a perfectly normal message that may occur for
several reasons which are detailed here:

http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#wc-out-of-date

But after running "svn update", your working copy should now be up-to-
date.

Please try checking out a new working copy ("svn checkout <url>
<dir>") and see if you can replicate the problem there. If not,
you've solved your problem. Get rid of the old working copy, after
manually moving any changes over to the new one.

If you still have the problem in the new working copy, please show us
the exact error messages you're getting as this should help us
isolate the problem.
