You will need to go to the repository and remove the cvs lock file for the directory. If you used LockDir=<somepath> in the CVSROOT/config the lock will be found under the <somepath> tree. Otherwise, it will be in your $CVSROOT/<path-to-module> directory. > Is there alock file which I should look for and > delete? Yes.
