This is kind of a fundamentally crazy thing to do; it's like a CVS user committing to somebody else's working directory instead of to the central repository. As you might expect, the system is confused because the info of what version is checked out is changed without the checked-out files getting changed. This should probably be kept from happening in some fashion, not reported to the user after the fact.
