Sometimes cleaning the repository with the  break locks -option still doesn t work if the lock was created by another process   Possible Solution  1  Acquire a new lock on the folder file and choose the option  Steal the locks  2  Release your new lock

After discussing with the hosting of my SVN repository they gave me the following answer   Apparently my repository is replicated to a remote repository using SVNSYNC  SVNSYNC has known limitations with enforcing locking across the replicated repositories and this is where the problem lies   The locks were introduced by the AnkhSVN plugin in Visual Studio   As the locks appears to be on the remote repository this explains why I can t actually see them using SVN commands   The locks are being removed via the hosting company and hopefully all will soon be well again

You need to cleanup your tortoise SVN by clicking on cleanup option you get after Right Clicking on windows where you want to UPDATE SVN  And after cleanup try updating SVN similarly by clicking UPDATE SVN option you get after right clicking   This worked for me

I had the same problem  I can t commit a lot of files at once     The commit works by    Running a  clean up  from Tortoise SVN Commit each file separate  Create new root folder and commit each file or folder         If the error returns you should repeat action no 1-2

I am not using AnkhSVN but got a similar problem after cancelling a Tortoise SVN update   It left two directories  already locked    Similar to Roman C s solution   Use Get lock to to lock one file in each directory that is  already locked  and then release those locks  then do a cleanup on the highest directory   That seemed to fix the problem

I got similar error msgs  I run svn clean-up  and then tried  get clock  for a few times  Then this error was gone
