SVN does not automatically update your entire working tree to the latest revision.

In your case, you committed a file in directory ./report, but then asked for info on .. If you'd asked for info on ./report you should see revision 6.

If this disturbs you, run svn update after every commit (if you're in a multi-person team, you should be doing it before every build anyway).
