Dear Mr. Sahlberg,
thank you for your answer.
I have played with the client hook pre-lock script of Tortoise SVN. The
idea is very good.
The first argument is a temporary file. It should contain the paths to
the files which should be locked.
But unfortunately this file is empty.
Therefore I am not able to add the paths to the log message via client
hook scripts.
The svn lock command should know which file(s) in which working copy is
(are) locked.
I don't understand why this command doesn't transfer this information to
the server and doesn't show it in the log or better in the message which
is shown if another user wants to get a lock on this file.
I need much time to find the working copy (plus client computer name)
where a file is locked because I don't know where it is locked.
A software which provides the locking feature should also told the user
where it is locked.
I know this from other software products.
I don't want to do a force unlock.
As workaround I use subversion usernames which contains the hostnames of
the clients.
So I know on which host the lock was done.
But I need also the path of the working copy and I don't want to add
also each working copy to the username
Best regards
Martin Rupp

Hi,
If a file is locked I get an error message like:
Lock failed: C:\test\svn\TestSvn\Test-o1.fodt
Error: Path '/Martin/Test-o1.fodt' is already locked by user
'martin' in
filesystem
Error: '75510a91-dada-4f23-b575-03fe34008164'

It is okay that I get an error but I need the path of the working
copy
instead of a hex number which doesn't help me.
Why I get a such unknown number instead a path?

What is the "filesystem '75510a91-dada-4f23-b575-03fe34008164'"?
It seems it is the id for the svnserver (svnserve).
If I use svn auth the same id is used for the login area:
Martin-User@JODA /cygdrive/c/Test/svn/TestSvn
$ svn auth

But how can I see in which path (working copy) on which computer the
file is locked?
There is already a somewhat similar request in JIRA
(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-4857
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-4857>). It doesn't seem
like any work has done there. The idea would be to put the computer
name in the lock message. But as mentioned in the issue, it would be
difficult for the server to work out the computer name and even more
difficult to work out the working copy path.
You can of course manually add this information in the lock message
and then inspect it using svn info [url to file in the repository] (or
in TortoiseSVN: "Check for modifications", "Check repository")
There is a client side Hook Scripts feature in TortoiseSVN.
The Pre-Lock script locks promising from the documentation (it should
be executed before the lock dialog is shown and the script should be
able to figure out both the computer and the path and put it in the
log message). However I can't make it work from a quick test and I
don't have time to dig deeper right now. If you try it out and it
doesn't work, please reach out to the TortoiseSVN mailing lists
(https://tortoisesvn.net/community.html

Kind regards,
Daniel Sahlberg
