I ended up using export command rather than update command. This is the post-commit hook

"C:\Program Files\VisualSVN Server\bin\svn.exe" export "D:\xampp\htdocs\test-lalala" --quiet --non-interactive --force --username myusername --password mypassword

As you get working copy error  Just run the svn cleanup which clean all the unwanted files and folders  If still error comes  then do one thing    Copy your files to other drive and delete the working copy folder or file and then take a update it will fetch the fresh file and after this replace with your updated copy and commit the same

To anyone still having this issue  Error  Working copy   DIR   locked    I have your solution   I found that when one of TortoiseSVN windows crash  it leaves a TSVNCache exe that still has a few handles to your working copy and that is causing the Lock issues you are seeing  and also prevents Clean Up from doing it s job    So to resolve this   Either  1a  Use Process Explorer or similar to delete the handles owned by TSVNCache exe  1b    Or even easier  just use Task Manager to kill TSVNCache exe  Then  2  Right click -  TortoiseSVN -  Clean up  Only  Clean up working copy status  needs to be checked   From there  happy updating committing  You can reproduce Lock behavior by doing SVN Update and then quickly killing it s TortoiseProc exe process before Update finishes

I solved it by deleting WC Lock record in the SQLite   svn wc db  file lock record in the WC LOCK table   Just open  wc db  file with SQLite editor and executed  delete from WC LOCK  The solution was given in another link that I cannot find right now  But really quite a fix  without worrying about deleting all directories
