I call svn_wc__find_wc_root() before that line is executed, so there
in no lock conflict. But it is not important now, I think the new plan
you proposed below is great:)

Actually what I want to do is to do a single commit for all working
copies from one repository. It is a little differcult for me right now,
and I am tring my best but not sure whether I can finish it before
deadline of GOCS.
I have saw the purpose of GOCS you write, these days there are
lots of controversy on my work, and I know that my work may not
be used in subversion. So I think the most important thing for me is
to be familiar with subversion code and Writing code is a way
to achieve this goal. This is preparation for my future work on
subversion and I wish I can work on subversion for a long time.
Do I understand the right thing?

You mean we failed at this line, right?
SVN_ERR(svn_wc_adm_open3(&base_dir_access, NULL, base_dir,
TRUE, /* Write lock */
I know it may be a littel trivial to ask these kind of details, I just
want to make sure that I understand the right thing.

Do you mean 'common root' as base_dir here?

So I can reuse original code to commit for each root, right?

That is Ok, I have learnt a lot by writing this patch, too.:) What I have
learnt is the true progress I make, isn't it?

After I am clear of the new plan detaily I will update the notes/file.

Thank you very much, Stefan~~
