Re: Files with needs-lock property not read only.

I have met the enemy and they are me.

I displayed the properties again in Tortoise and notice the needs-lock
one was "svn.needs-lock" instead of "svn:needs-lock" with the colon. I
fixed that and now the file is read only as it should be.

Thanks for the ideas.
