Hello,

Every time I try to commit any file the following message shows up: "... is locked in another working copy".
I`ve already done the clean up, but the problem remains. Someone knows what should I do?

Appreciate any help

Hello,

I have the following message error while I try to commit any file: "is locked in another working copy error". No lock token available.

I've already done the clean up, but the problem remains. Someone knows what should I do?

Thanks!

The error tells you that the file is locked in another working copy with the same user.
If another user had the file locked, you would see the username in the error message as well.

So, you either have another working copy (maybe on another computer?) or you once had another working copy where you locked this file.

To remove the lock, open the repository browser, browse to that file and right-click, then select "break lock".

Problem solved. I clicked in TortoiseSVN -> Get lock... Then I selected the files with the option Steal the lock. After that, I clicked in Realeased the lock... And all the users were finally able to edit.
