RE: svn cleanup has problems with recursive cleanup

I still see this same problem on 1.6.4 / Linux. Interestingly this seems to
be a confusion about how to handle subdirectories. Given:

$ svn cleanup
svn: In directory 'dlgbartest/res'
svn: Error processing command 'committed' in 'dlgbartest/res'
svn: Working copy 'dlgbartest' locked
svn: run 'svn cleanup' to remove locks (type 'svn help cleanup' for details)

The following will solve the problem:

$ cd dlgbar/res
dlgbar/res $ svn cleanup
dlgbar/res $ cd ../
dlgbar $ svn cleanup
dlgbar $ cd ..
$ svn cleanup

Note that the last command is the same command that previously failed ...
but what I really don't understand is that this will also fail:

$ svn cleanup dlgbar/res

HTH,
