Hi, (I asked about this on IRC today and was asked to send a repro to this list.)
Since updating to TortoiseSVN 1.8 my locks get broken when I update a repository. (Downgrading to TortoiseSVN 1.7.13 fixes it. Upgrading back to 1.8.0 or 1.8.5 (the latest, based on Subversion 1.8.8) makes the problem reappear. With the SlikSvn command line client 1.8.5-x64 I also get the same problem.) I can reproduce it with a new empty repo on that server (VisualSVN 2.1.7 32bit, based on Subversion 1.6.16): C:\Repos> svnadmin create testrepo C:\Repos> And then on the client (using SlikSvn command line client 1.8.5-x64 here, but the same happens with TortoiseSVN): C:\> svn co https://.../testrepo testrepo Checked out revision 0. C:\> cd testrepo C:\testrepo> echo foo > foo C:\testrepo> svn add foo A foo C:\testrepo> svn ci -mm Adding foo Transmitting file data . Committed revision 1. C:\testrepo> svn lock foo 'foo' locked by user 'peter'. C:\testrepo> svn update Updating '.': B foo updated to revision 1. C:\testrepo> I could not reproduce the problem with a local file:/// repo created with TortoiseSVN on the client. Thanks, Peter
