I read that bit. Carefully. It wasn't helpful. I'm not flaming, not
this time, because this is a forgivable sort of omission -- there are enough
different hosting circumstances that trying to be exhaustive about it
would be very hard.
But, say I'm on a Linux machine -- how do I tell which processes have
a lock on the repository? (Actually, the first question is why "svn
recover" doesn't print a list of those locks and exit with an
explanatory message.)
Looking for svnserves in the process list isn't good enough. Here
I am on a big hosting site:
