Yup.

dberlin@linux:/mnt/gccstuff/gcc-clean/gcc> svn commit
svn: Caught signal
dberlin@linux:/mnt/gccstuff/gcc-clean/gcc> svn commit
svn: Working copy
'/mnt/gccstuff/gcc-clean/gcc/testsuite/gcc.c-torture/execute/builtins/lib' locked
svn: run 'svn cleanup' to remove locks (type 'svn help cleanup' for
details)

We handle it like any other error that occurs during commit/whatever.
Anything else would require restructuring the wc code in very
significant ways, AFAIK.

Also, doing such cleaning up would itself takes a long time on a gcc
working copy, since it has a ton of directories. I imagine if we used
fcntl locking instead of lock files, we could just go away and the
kernel/libc would clean up after us.
