In Subversion, the concept of lock/unlock is different from the entire working copy being locked.
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.6/svn.advanced.locking.html The Three Meanings of “Lock” In this section, and almost everywhere in this book, the words “lock” and “locking” describe a mechanism for mutual exclusion between users to avoid clashing commits. Unfortunately, there are two other sorts of “lock” with which Subversion, and therefore this book, sometimes needs to be concerned. The second is working copy locks, used internally by Subversion to prevent clashes between multiple Subversion clients operating on the same working copy. This is the sort of lock indicated by an L in the third column of svn status output, and removed by the svn cleanup command, as described in the section called “Sometimes You Just Need to Clean Up”. Third, there are database locks, used internally by the Berkeley DB backend to prevent clashes between multiple programs trying to access the database. This is the sort of lock whose unwanted persistence after an error can cause a repository to be “wedged,” as described in the section called “Berkeley DB Recovery”. You can generally forget about these other kinds of locks until something goes wrong that requires you to care about them. In this book, “lock” means the first sort unless the contrary is either clear from context or explicitly stated. What you're running into is the second kind of lock. (Probably, some operation that took a working copy lock got interrupted.) As such, the way to handle this in Versions is via Action > Cleanup Working Copy Locks on "…" while the top-level folder in the working copy is selected. - Quinn On Nov 9, 2012, at 8:23 AM, Wibble <[email protected]> wrote: > I constantly have issues with > "Working copy x/x/x/x locked" > > The Action > Unlock is greyed out. > > How can I force unlock in Versions? > > Also the Versions UI is showing a clock icon and Busy; I guess indicating > that it's locked.
