Tell us what commit actually says -- that is, the verbatim error
message :-). And when you say someone "creates" a new directory, you
mean they do "mkdir" in a working copy, or "mkdir" then "svn add", or
or something else?

You can detect new files and directories using 'svn status', then use
'svn add' to add them to version control.

Wait -- the *repository* is locked?? How? What error message does
Subversion give to indicate this?

Are you sure you don't mean "working copy" instead of "repository"?

To help, we'll need a lot more concrete detail. The actual actions,
the actual errors you're seeing... Basically, a transcript, not a
prose description.

Thanks,
