Be sure that *only* one instance of darktable is running when/before
deleting the lock file, ie:  If inadvertently starting a second session,
retaining the lock file and noticing the failure is prudent!

Subversion Kills Productivity. Get off Subversion & Make the Move to Perforce.
With Perforce, you get hassle-free workflows. Merge that actually works. 
Faster operations. Version large binaries.  Built-in WAN optimization and the
freedom to use Git, Perforce or both. Make the move to Perforce.
