AW: Cleanup failed, please execute the 'Cleanup' command.

Hello!

I had this issue three times today.
“svn cleanup” solved the problems but not the cleanup of Tortoise SVN.

One time I have activated the option “Break locks” in the “Cleanup” dialog of Tortoise SVN.
After that I was able to continue my work.

Unfortunately the option “Break locks” is not described in the help. I don’t know what this option does.

The cleanup of svn removes all write locks.
Maybe that is the reason why svn cleanup works and Tortoise SVN’s cleanup doesn’t.

The help of svn cleanup warns:

WARNING: There is no mechanism that will protect write locks still
          being used by other Subversion clients. Running this command
          while another client is using the working copy can corrupt
          the working copy beyond repair!

I use locks in all my working copies and I let subversion add the property svn:needs-lock to all new files.

Maybe Tortoise SVN cannot handle locks in a right way.

With best regards,
Martin Rupp

Betreff: Cleanup failed, please execute the 'Cleanup' command.

Hello!

Quite often - usually after directory operations that got stuck - i have to run svn cleanup.
About every other time, cleanup fails with a message box

                Cleanup failed to process the following paths:
                D:\............
                Previous operation has not finished; run ‘cleanup’ if it was interrupted
                Please execute the ‘Cleanup’ command.

Sometimes it helped to call cleanup for the working copy root, sometimes i had to try
it a few times.
Normally running svn cleanup on the command line worked.

This is with the latest 1.9 test build: “TortoiseSVN 1.9.3, Build 27163 - 64 Bit -dev, 2016/02/01 07:50:27”
but I have seen with other versions before.

It irritates me that cleanup fails with “would you please run cleanup” which i did ...
can this situation be improved?

I know that this report is very vague. What can I do to shed light onto this?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
