This question was originally posted on StackOverflow <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53226943/how-can-i-prevent-tortoisesvn-database-locking-up> (by myself), I thought I'd give it a try asking it also here.
I have a Windows 7 PC with the latest TortoiseSVN version (1.11.0 x64). Almost every time I want to commit changes to the server, I get the following error: Commit failed (details follow): > Failed to load properties: sqlite[S5]: database is locked > Error unlocking locked dirs (details follow): sqlite[S5]: database is > locked Another process is blocking the working copy database, or the underlying > filesystem does not support file locking; if the working copy is on a > network filesystem, make sure file locking has been enabled on the file > server. It's easy to fix - I just go to the project root folder, do an SVN cleanup, and then the commit works fine. However, if I want to commit again a few minutes after that, it will most likely fail again and force me to do another cleanup. It gets *really *annoying. A few more details: - Both my SVN projects and TortoiseSVN itself are placed in my local HDD (no network filesystem), and their folders are excluded from the antivirus software. - The working copy folder is not network shared (nor locally, I'm the only user on that PC). - I don't have Dropbox, Google Drive or any other cloud software sync'ing the folder, either. - It's specific to TortoiseSVN, I never get this error when I commit my changes from Eclipse. - I really don't think it's a TortoiseSVN bug though, I recently updated from version 1.9.6 to 1.11.0 and both had the same issue, if this really was a bug it surely would have been fixed... right? :) - I'm the only developer currently working with the projects (it's not an issue of my local database being out of date, or existing conflicts). Is there any way I can prevent these locks from happening? Any settings I can change on TortoiseSVN, or something?
