Re: svn lock gives different output with --force?

Got it, should have read the book better :(

This http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.advanced.locking.html#svn.advanced.locking.break-steal
explains it.

So, breaking or stealing a lock is disallowed unless the --force
option is used, in which case it is allowed always. This is level 1
checking.

Admins can put in a hook for level 2 checking. So, the hook will be
executed ONLY if --force is specified.
