RE: can't add file if a file with the same name was svn deleted without removing lock

One other point. Locking is NOT a security boundary. Anyone that has
write access to the repo can remove the lock. Locking is more an
indicator to be used perhaps on binary files.

Subject: can't add file if a file with the same name was svn deleted
without removing lock

1. before I am using svn merge I am locking one of branches. if merge
requires to delete locked file it delete it, following commit removes
file but svn remembers that file is locked. lock can't be removed (using
user interface) because if absent in last revision.
if in future I am need to add a file with the same name, I see an error
423 that the file is locked.
Is this a bug?

2. request feature.
can you add a possibility to lock directories? I need to lock entire
project with about 4000 files and now this takes a long time.
