Re: Locking a file in a moved folder

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for responding to this issue.

In fact what I was expecting is that when locking the file before
move, the lock being moved to the new location in the working copy as
well. However, that does not happen either (see defect
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3525).

You suggested "lock the moved-from path", but how do I achieve that?
Does it mean that I require to lock it in the repository only?
Wouldn't that give a 'orphan' lock (I mean a lock only existing in the
repository, not in any working copy)?

Thanks & Regards,

Arjen Wisse
