Re: TSVN locking Bug

Hi,

hope I'm getting you right here. If so, then the problem is simply that
an operation in a WC was interrupted and the data was kept in a locked
state. To resolve that, you normally just perform an svn cleanup (also
available via the TSVN dialog). The thing is that you should do that
with the TSVN 1.7.x client since the WC is a 1.7 one.

1. backup the working copy
2. uninstalle TSVN 1.9 (or whatever newer version you have)
3. install TSVN 1.7.x
4. right-click on the WC and select TSVN -> Cleanup - make sure that the
setting to unlock the WC is selected

Alternative, in case you can't downgrade TSVN:
1. backup the working copy
2. install a 1.7 svn command line client (one client variation being
available here: http://www.luke1410.de/typo3/index.php?id=97 - requires
Windows Vista or above however and you should just use it to solve the
issue - it's not designed for production use, but in ur case it should
work and is a simple zipped archive (so nothing to install)).
3. run svn cleanup [working-directory-path]

Make sure the correct svn version is used (run svn --version to confirm
you are executing the svn 1.7 command line client).
