No, the svn:needs-lock property is completely orthogonal to the
existence of locks. The book explains in more detail.

The problem here is that PQEbay/FilterConstants.cs is locked in the
repository. Use 'svn info URL" to see information about the lock.
(i.e. who locked it and when.)

If your working copy doesn't have the lock-token for the file, you'll
have to break it forcibly with 'svn unlock --force'.

Directories aren't lockable, only files are.

Once again, the clsLotGroupBox.cs is locked in the repository,
probably by someone else.
