Renaming a Directory
When I rename a directory and commit, I get the error message "Out of Date" error message.
21:43:39:~/work/sesame > svn move timelib util
A util
D timelib/Clock.java
D timelib
21:43:47:~/work/sesame > svn commit -m "Renamed timelib to util"
Deleting timelib
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: Out of date: '/sesame/trunk/timelib' in transaction '10-1'
How can I fix this? TIA.

I would run an svn log -r BASE:HEAD before doing the revert and see what has
changed, and then if necessary, do the revert. Many times, you just need to
update and then commit.

It means that someone else has probably fiddled with the directory since
your last update. You should probably revert the move (which involves
separately reverting the add and the delete it's composed of, and
possibly also manually moving files around if you have other uncommitted
changes), do an update of the entire parent directory (at least), and
then try again.
