Re: Possible bug in 1.7: svn cleanup can't recover after a failed update (with 1.6 it was possible)

Johan, thanks for your help. See my comments below.

My bad, I should have mentioned that we had tried that after googling
the issue, and before sending the email, unsuccessfully (svn: E155037:
Previous operation has not finished; run 'cleanup' if it was
interrupted)
This is the reason why I believe the local repo is in a
non-recoverable state, because any command request a clean up, but a
clean up fails.

OK, I'll wait a couple of days in case someone has more insights...

Good to know! I wasn't aware of this... I'll post it there.

Thanks again for the help,
