Run it in gdb, set a breakpoint on svn_wc__acquire_write_lock and/or svn_wc__db_wclock_set. It's the recursion in svn_client_add4 and add_parent_dirs that's the problem. 1.6 would attempt to lock from child to parent, fail because the directories weren't versioned and then lock from parent to child as the directories got added. -- Philip
