I tried with

TortoiseSVN-1.5.99.15563-dev-win32-svn-1.6.0-dev.msi

And it still doesn't work. The error message looks just a little
different:

Command: Lock
Lock failed: [local path]
Error: Path
Error: '[repo path]'
Error: is already locked by user '[other user]' in filesystem '[repo
dir]/db'
Finished!:

Some other things I note: If I lock using the command line (which I
have to do in a separate WC since I have 1.5.5 cmd line) and then try to
update in this WC, TSVN doesn't "see" the lock I now have. It used to
handle this just fine, I thought. And if I try to commit when my other
WC has a lock, it still fails, telling me that user (me!) has the file
locked.

So to commit a file I stole the lock, then released it, then quickly
committed. (I could have broken the lock and committed too, of course.)

Yet you say it works with the latest nightly build. Is there some
possible server configuration involved here, or a possible problem
related to using a 1.5.2 server?
