Daniel,
All of the subversion tools are used under Windows. No subversion tools
are even installed under any Linux installations.
The source code is used under Linux, but rarely edited under Linux. I
regularly use Cygwin tools (dos2unix.exe, for example), but rarely edit
files there.
You did make a minor assumption I'll correct. Files are rarely
explicitly locked. In 20 years I am the only individual here who has
ever touched these sources. Thus, I haven't locked any of the sources
before editing in over 10 years. Whatever locking that occurs, if any,
is done so magically by the tools.
Again, though, if I ever see an assertion again I'll retain the
offending file for submission with the error report.

Meanwhile, a request: If you (or anyone) sees this again, please save a
copy of the file that exposes it and then talk to us so that with your
help we could figure out what is the offending sequence and how to
reproduce it for debugging and regression testing...
The mentioning of Windows and Linux above makes me wonder if you are
using the same working copy from both Windows and Linux (WSL/Cygwin)
environments. It was discussed on the TortoiseSVN mailing list a while
ago [1] but I don't think anyone actually encountered an assertion and
I'm not able to reproduce it either. (All my experiments ended with
"E135000: Inconsistent line ending style"). The conclusion was to
maintain separate working copies for the different environments.
If you use svn:eol-style native you should be able to checkout the file
under Linux (including WSL/Cygwin) and automatically have \n line
endings without any need for conversion. When you checkout the file
under Windows (using TSVN or the svn command line tools) you will get
\r\n line endings.
Kind regards,
Daniel
