RE: cannot break lock due to no matching lock-token

Thanks,again.

So, I am running subversion on a Windows2003 server. The URL for the repository is svn://servername/reponame. The file in question is reportedly in a project folder in a trunk (URL svn://servername/reponame/project/trunk/filefolder/filename.xyz) HOWEVER, the file no longer exists because it was deleted at some point, but the repository still thinks there is a lock on this non-existent filename.xyz. The file DOES exist in an earlier tag, but there is no link between that file and the current trunk.

I tried issuing commands using the standard DOS command prompt window. I can get info on the project folders (e.g. svn info svn://servername/reponame/project/trunk/filefolder/) but I cannot do anything with the filename that is associated with this error: "cannot verify lock on path... ; no matching lock- token available. If you wish to break the lock, use the 'Check for Modification' dialog" Checking for modifications does not help because the working folder associated with this lock no longer exists either.

Yes.

The command line client can be downloaded from here:
http://subversion.apache.org/packages.html#windows
I use the SlikSVN one, but it really doesn't matter which one you use.

Kind regards,

Jon

Thanks for replying.
I am using TortoiseSVN, which directs me to this mailing list for
discussion.  Pardon my amateurishness, could I use a local command line
client (while keeping Tortoise resident) to execute this?

Hi,
You don't say what client you're using, but it doesn't seem to be the
Subversion command-line client.  Try asking on the relevant mailing
list for your client.
If you were using the command-line client, you'd use
"svn unlock --force".  See these pages for details:

Kind regards,
Jon

Does anyone know how I can clean up a missing lock-token?

A file was created and locked.  The file was unlocked and the project
tagged.
the tagged folder was merged with an empty trunk and then the trunk
checked out.  A file in the project was locked, but later removed
without being unlocked.  Now the file does not exist in the trunk, but
any changes to the trunk cannot commit because "cannot verify lock on
path...  ; no matching lock- token available.  If you wish to break the
lock, use the 'Check for Modification' dialog" appears and prevents any
actions on the trunk (ie, delete all files).  I have tried checking for
modifications but none are listed (the file was deleted).
I cannot merge, delete, copy or anything.  The lock that was there is
not needed.  How do I remove this lock-token or whatever I need to do?
