I assume you are referring to a "directory not locked" error in the
post-commit processing for this case

svn co file://.... wc
cd wc
svn ps a b
svn ci

I've identified the problem in the locking code: it's a failure when
comparing canonicalized and non-canonicalized paths.

No, the temporary solution is to use 'svn ci /path/to/wc'. I'll fix
it shortly.
