Re: Locking a file in a moved folder

But then once you commit --keep-locks the rename, you'll have to also
move the lock from /f1/foo to /f2/foo, right?

For that matter:

% svn add iota
% svn ci -mm iota
% svn mv iota kappa
% svn lock kappa
% svn ci --keep-locks -m rename ./

should also move the lock from iota to kappa. (currently it doesn't)

This seems reasonable to me. (so, +1 to filing a feature request bug)

And to answer your question: for now, lock the moved-from path.
