Re: Help: svn: Working copy 'XXXX/XXXX/XXX' locked

Hi Ryan:

I tired to rename one of the files via direct repository URLs. But still
failed. The checkout command is "svn checkout
svn://prometheus.ecn.purdue.edu/RAID2/Users/garciagroup/svnrepos/reconstruction3D".
So I think the URLs is
"svn://prometheus.ecn.purdue.edu/RAID2/Users/garciagroup/svnrepos/reconstruction3D/Align.c".
Am I right? Then I got this:

Hu-DimatoMacBook-Pro:reconstruction3d dhu$ svn mv
svn://prometheus.ecn.purdue.edu/RAID2/Users/garciagroup/svnrepos/reconstruction3D/Align.c
svn://prometheus.ecn.purdue.edu/RAID2/Users/garciagroup/svnrepos/reconstruction3D/align_new.c
svn: Could not use external editor to fetch log message; consider setting
the $SVN_EDITOR environment variable or using the --message (-m) or --file
(-F) options
svn: None of the environment variables SVN_EDITOR, VISUAL or EDITOR are set,
and no 'editor-cmd' run-time configuration option was found

Is just deleting both file easier? If it is, would you please tell me how to
do that? I can add the files again after deleting them. Thank you.

Di
