Hmn. My repository is in a bad state at the moment.

Some changes were made, from 174-183, which ended up being a big horny
issue, so it was decided to branch them off into another universe. So,
183 was branched off into /branch/omniorb, and then the state of the
trunk/ repository was reverted back to what it was at 173. It continued
along doing stuff. The branch changes were finished, and the repository
level is now 217.

I'm fairly certain the files in question were made in the branch only.
At least the directory which is throwing the 'not locked' error.

The end effect is not a /huge/ amount of changes, so if I have to I can
manually merge this up.. but I would rather not.
