The error indicates that the file is actually locked by someone. It makes sense to check why this file was locked because there is a great chance that it was locked on purpose and someone is making modifications to the file. In order to find out who locked the file and why, run the following command and check "Lock Owner", "Lock Created" and "Lock Comment" fields: svn info <URL-TO-THE-FILE> If you are sure that the lock is unnecessary and should be removed, break the lock by running the command: svn unlock --force <URL-TO-THE-FILE> Learn more about locking in Subversion by reading *SVNBook | Locking <https://www.visualsvn.com/support/svnbook/advanced/locking/>*. -- With best regards, Pavel Lyalyakin VisualSVN Team -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "VisualSVN" group.
