How can I release locks in Subversion recursively?

Question

I am having a problem with version control in Subversion. I checked out a working copy from respository and got locks on all of its files. Then, without releasing the locks I ha

Answer 1

From the advance locking section

$ svn status -u
M              23   bar.c
M    O         32   raisin.jpg
       *       72   foo.h
Status against revision:     105
$ svn unlock raisin.jpg
svn: 'raisin.jpg' is not locked in this working copy

That simply means the file is not locked in your current working directory , but if it is still locked at the repository level, you can force the unlock ("breaking the lock")

$ svn unlock http://svn.example.com/repos/project/raisin.jpg
svn: Unlock request failed: 403 Forbidden (http://svn.example.com)
$ svn unlock --force http://svn.example.com/repos/project/raisin.jpg
'raisin.jpg' unlocked.

(which is what you did through the TortoiseSVN GUI)
