hmm. are there .svn/log* files or .svn/killme / .svn/KILLME (i'm
unsure about the case, I'm answering your question without consulting
the sources).

yes: .svn/lock

log doesn't show locks (afaik), but those would be different locks
than the ones your client is complaining about. Locked files (in the
repository) have little to do with locked working copies, no matter
