title: SVN: Resource out of date; try updating
body: <p>I'm using Win'7 and Tortoise SVN</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Clicked on "SVN Commit" this morning</li>
  <li>A few files were nominated, and I said okay</li>
  <li>SVN went to work.</li>
  <li>All other files where committed properly</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>One file had problems. This file has been accessed and used exactly the same as all the others. They are source files used as input to make code.</p>
  
  <p>Got an error in red letters...</p>
  
  <pre><code>Error: Commit failed (details follow):
  Error: File or directory 'SOURCES\MyFileName.s' is out of date; try updating  
  Error: resource out of date; try updating`
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Tried to update, did not copy/paste the error, sorry for the mystery question. I think it was something about a conflict or a tree</p>
  
  <p>File has some strange icon appended to it</p>
  
  <pre><code>Error: Commit failed (details follow):
  Error: Aborting commit:   
  Error: 'C:\...big...long...path...and...MyFileName...'
  Error: remains in conflict
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1192304/why-does-svn-not-update-correctly-is-there-a-workaround-besides-re-downloading">This question</a> on Stack Overflow has an answer that says the cause of this error is adding a new subdirectory without using <code>SVN_MkDir</code> or something. I have added several subdirectories to my tree with no problem.</p>
  
  <p>What's more, this is just this one file, not any others, and it has been treated the same as others (for months, in fact). I edit, save, and commit it from time to time (exactly the same as the others in the subdirectory).</p>
  
  <p>Another answer suggested <code>SVN Cleanup</code> which I tried, with the result of another error message and the file remained "conflicted", whatever that means.</p>
  
  <p>Okay, what's the crime here ?</p>
  
  <p>Just for reference, this is the version of SVN that I'm using</p>
