Externals pb

Hello,

I have created a subdir: php/mtest

After i put the external property like that
svn propset svn:externals "php/mtest http://repos.com/test/branches/r-1.0" .

I commit the changes.

But when i use svn update i got this error:

A  php
A  php\mtest
Updated to revision 7.

Fetching external item into php\mtest
svn: Attempted to lock an already-locked dir
svn: working copy locked: php
svn: run 'svn cleanup' to remove locks (type 'svn help cleanup' for details)

Best regards

Hello Jack,

I finally found the problem.

I have to put the property only on the sub dir.

svn propset svn:externals "mtest http://rep.com/test/branches/r-1.0" mtest

But the documentation is not very clear about the usage of externals.

Best regards

It looks like this means that the lock is on 
http://repos.com/test/branches/r-1.0.  You didn't 
report anything about the history or state of 
that repo.  Have you investigated the possibility 
that it is, in fact, locked?  Have you tried the 
suggested 'svn cleanup' on that repo?
