Fyi, Brieuc opened a ticket on this
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3363
which I closed without seeing this the link back to this thread.
There's two separate issues. One that doing potentially multiple
control-C's to svn can leave the working copy in a locked state. The
code currently catches signals and does the best job to clean up the
wc and leave it in a good state, but you can always kill -9 or
potentially send enough control-C's to kill it and leave the wc in a
locked state.
The other issue is that svn cleanup could be improved to descend into
svn:externals and also clean those up.
So I don't see a bug here, only potentially an improvement to svn
cleanup.

Blair
