I fear I explained myself the wrong way: I do NOT want to use locking in my small project at all. Since I am the only one working with these source files it is definatelly not necessary. So if I add a new file to the repository, the auto-prop does set the svn:needs-lock even if I do not want it. I have to add the new file, then open the file properties, delete the svn:needs-lock on the TSVN tab and THEN commit the file. My problem is that I often forget to do this and end up with a lock-needing file in my otherwise lock-less project repository. To solve this I have to check out, get the lock, delete the property and commit the file without actualy changing the content.

Ah, I understand. I thought that config file was for TSVN to read the values and pass them to the svn functions. I understand now that the SVN library accesses this config file directly? I suppose it is not possible to have that config file as a default and assign a different one to a specific project as an option?

Sincerely and wishing a nice weekend,
