Subversion Hints
Deleting a sync-lock
If svnsync gets behind, and issuing the command:
$ svnsync synchronize http://localhost/svn/repos
displays a message (10 times) that starts:
Failed to get lock on destination repos, currently held by …
To correct the condition, issue the command:
$ svn propdel svn:sync-lock —revprop -r 0 http://localhost/svn/repos
Finally, reissue the original svnsync command.

$ svn propset svn:executable ON somescript
