Normally the "out of date" error means that the repository contains newer changes that your working copy does not have yet, such as, for example, modifications to files inside the directory you are trying to rename. Normally your working copy must be up-to-date with the repository before you commit, at least for all items that are touched by any kind of modifications in your working copy. Practically speaking, this means that you would need to 'update' your working copy first; since you have renamed a directory, you may have to resolve a tree conflict. Alternatively, if renaming the directory is the only change you're making, it might just be simpler to 'revert' that change in your working copy, then 'update', then rename the directory, and then 'commit'. There's better documentation in the SVN book: https://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.tour.treeconflicts.html Search for "is out of date" on that page to jump straight to it. Hope this helps, Nathan
