Re: Working Copy Not Locked

Hi again,

Actually, it seems that it is more insidious than I first thought, I
decided to try it out again by deleting my working copy and then trying
anything.. so I checked out the repository, when inside the local copy and
performed an "svn up"

and it came up with the same error:

"svn: Working copy not locked
 svn: directory not locked (some dir name)"

It doesn't allow me to do anything,

Any ideas?

Thanks,

-- Andrew
