SVN always getting errors when I commit (Subclipse)

I have setup svn on my ser开发者_运维知识库ver and Subclipse at home. I am the only developer and am mainly using it for the backup and versioning features.

Everytime I commit my changes I get eighter:

Out Of date errors

or

Tree conflicts

Sometimes I even delete files and they don't delete on svn, in a directory hierarchy only the very last item will delete so I have to delete each folder one at a time.

How do I avoid these errors in the future?

Update: Another problem I am having is that sometimes eclipse seems to sync with the server so that when I refactor a filename it goes off to the server and does something and makes me wait, which is annoying.

And for clarity, this is a typical operation: I might change a filename, move a file to a different folder then change the contents of a file. I select the 'Team menu' and click 'commit'. Then I get all these errors above.

Do you always svn update before modifying your files? It is mandatory.

When deleting, you commit the deletion? Otherwise, you only delete in local

Aside from an update, you might also need to close & reopen the project to lose deleted files from the Synchronization view.

Don't try to do more than one delete, or make any other changes after a delete, before committing, either.

Great, isn't it.

Peter is right, at least as far as I know the only way to delete a directory tree with Subclipse is delete the inner directory, commit, update, delete next, commit, update, etc. I might be missing something but at the very least there's an user-unfriendliness problem, I don't see why one can't delete a directory in one step. Mistyping a package name and realising later is awful.

I don't know how on earth subclipse got to version 1.6.x like this, especially because it's otherwise a good plugin...
