Hello,
I've just had this nasty experience on windows...
I had to kill an svn update (don't recall the reason) and it corrupted
the working copy to such a state that I did not know how to get out of it.
This is svn 0.27 on winNT.
Here's part of the session *right after* another kill (to reproduce...):
----------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------
As you can see, much is locked and update rightly complains about it.
Unfortunately, cleanup also complains!
How would one normally recover from this?
I deleted the tutorials directory and removed it from docs/.svn/entries.
After that cleanup completed succesfully and another update worked.
If any more information is needed, just let me know and I'll see what I
can do.
