Hmmm, looking at libsvn_repos/repos.c:974, it seems that we're
successfully opening up the repository lockfile, but that our call to
apr_file_unlock() is returning the "already unlocked" error. Thus we
never get to the code further down which calls
svn_fs_berkeley_recover().

I don't understand apr_file_unlock() very well... should we just trap
and ignore this error? What exactly does it mean? That the lockfile
is present, but unlockable?
