I have a little cron job that syncs two svn repos. It runs every ten minutes. For some reason it stopped working so I killed the job. Now when I try to manually run the job, I get:
Failed to get lock on destination repos, currently held by...
Great, the sync is broken!
Here is how to clear it up. Use the following command to remove the lock:
svn propdel --revprop -r0 svn:sync-lock file:///path/to/the/repository
This is the sync script:
#!/bin/sh svnsync synchronize file:///path/to/the/repository --username svnuser --password svnpassword
