          For example, If I am working on project *calc/trunk* and some
body working on *paint/trunk*
    At the time of checkout my and others revision number will be 3
    While the person working on *paint* project will commit his code,
the revision number will increased to 4 but still my working copy will
have revision 3. So when i do commit it says svn: File not found:
transaction '4-1' . This will makes me confusing whether the changes
will be happened in my project or else in some other project.
    How to avoid the above isssue???
    and if i did some major changes in my working copy and i want to
revert back to my original version how to do that???
