Working copy locks were per-directory in 1.6 and 'svn status' showed 'L' to indicate which directories were locked. There is currently a behaviour change in 1.7, 'svn status' now only displays 'L' if the directory is "interesting" for some other reason, added, prop-mod, etc.
1.6 clears locks that are not protecting log files, given the chance, so after an interrupted operation status would typically show 'L' for just the directory that had a log file rather than the whole tree. In 1.7 there is generally only one lock per-tree, so if it is present following an interrupted operation, status would probably have to show 'L' for every directory in the tree to behave like 1.6. However the current behaviour means that status will sometimes show nothing for a locked working copy. Is this behaviour change acceptable? What behaviour do we want? - the current behaviour, only show 'L' on otherwise interesting directories - the 1.6 behaviour, show 'L' on every locked directory which will often be every directory in the tree - something else http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3908 -- Philip
