What characters? What placeholders?

If you can provide a sequence of commands that demonstrate the
problem, we can look into it. I'm talking about actual steps I can
perform on my machine to try to duplicate the problem -- a
reproduction recipe. Vague descriptions like saying you used
TortoiseSVN to fill in the files are not enough to help us see the
problem. What was the content of the files? Here is an example of a
good reproduction recipe:

http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2007-02/1071.shtml

I don't use Windows, and I'm not familiar with TortoiseSVN, so I
don't know what it means to use TortoiseSVN to set the files as read-
only or to lock the group of files. I haven't used Subversion's file
locking in any case, and I didn't know Subversion could make files
read-only.

Maybe, I don't know. Try reproducing the problem without TortoiseSVN,
using just the svn command-line client.
