Bug report: Deleting a file and keeping the lock to it

From: John Hutchinson <john.hutchinson_at_fp.co.nz>
Date: 2006-02-16 04:49:00 CET

What I did: got a lock for a file, deleted it with --no-unlock, then
couldn't delete the parent directory, cos the orphaned lock still existed

Please note that this sounds silly cos why would you check Keep locks if you
are just deleting. However you may be doing lots of things one of which is
deleting and you just want to keep working on everything in that folder.

What I wanted to happen: delete the file and the directory and any locks
that I owned for deleted files were deleted as well

What actually happened: when I deleted the file and kept the lock, the lock
was indeed kept and the file deleted. This one reference (i.e. the lock) to
the file meant the folder couldn't be deleted.

Below is a script that reproduces the problem, followed by the result of
running the script (sim.bat):

mkdir test
svn add test
cd test
dir > sample.txt
svn add sample.txt
svn propset needs-lock * sample.txt
cd ..
svn ci -m "Store sample"
cd test
svn lock sample.txt
svn del sample.txt
svn ci --no-unlock -m "Create problem!"
cd ..
svn del test
svn up
svn ci -m "This won't work cos of orphaned lock for sample.txt"
