can't commit to svn because working copy is always out of date

Question

I'm trying to commit some work, but svn always fails and tells me that a file I modified is out of date. I tried updating first, that doesn't work. Cleanup doesn't work. If I revert the file, copy my changes over and try that, it still fails. It isn't just a particular file either, if I revert the whole thing back to a previous revision, and modify any file, this problem still occurs.

I am out of ideas. Anyone have anything?

Thanks.

Try creating a fresh checkout, then copying your changes to it. I had some inexplicable problems with TortoiseSVN too, and this was the only thing that helped.
