Ok. Don't do that. :-) If they're properties on files (which are
versioned, as opposed to properties on revisions, which are not),
then you should not be touching them in your pre-commit hook. I don't
know why you would be getting a message that the working copy is
locked, but I'm also disinclined to investigate further, since what
you're trying to do is not recommended and will land you in trouble
later. Please see the warning at the end of this page of the book:
