Please ignore me today. Immediately after sending this message, I found a
directory called CVS-locks just above my CVSROOT. The lock was there and has
been removed.

Sorry for the noise.

Subject: waiting for user's lock when there does not appear to be any

Hi All,

Please forgive me if this seems like an FAQ; the answers I turned up in the
manual and in the list archives haven't worked, and I'm completely stumped here.

Whenever I attempt to access a particular directory in our repository, I get
the following message:

cvs checkout: [11:13:24] waiting for smith's lock in
/var/cvsrepository/marvin/src/com/caradas/cthh/util

I've checked, and smith does not have any cvs processes running on this
server. After that, I went into the repository itself to look for things like
'#cvs.rfl' '#cvs.wfl' or '#cvs.lock' and did not find anything similar in the
directory in question, its parent, or any of its children.

Does anyone have any idea what else could be causing this message and how I
can make it stop?

Thanks,

Geoff
