Would be nice if that would be the fact. I've deleted the files via the repo-browser. I've just taken a look into the revision where the files were still there: they have the lock from our student. I've then installed Subversion itself and run "svnadmin lslocks" - the locks he had were displayed, too. Since the files are not in head revision anymore, I cannot remove the lock. I've tried to get them from the old revision into head but that does not seem to work because of that lock, too.

Question: can I remove those locks by removing the strange hexcode-named files under "\repository_path\db\locks\some_path" without crippeling the repository?

Sincerely,
Maik Schmidt
