recursive "cleanup" advice

["Scott, Steven" <St...@capitalone.com>]

I've been a subversion user for about 2 hours:  30 minutes setting it up
and breaking it, and 1.5 hours on the web trying to recover.  (I.e. I
tried to fix it on my own, but failed.  Be gentle.)  

At some point I tried to just remove the working copy and start over.  I
see now that was a bad idea, because my working copy is still there, but
it looks like I deleted enough to break it

I'm locked in this cycle...

$ svn cleanup       ## run from the root of my working copy
$ svn commit -m "added files in /src"
svn: Working copy '/blah/blah/blah/repos' locked
svn: run 'svn cleanup' to remove locks (type 'svn help cleanup' for
details)
$ svn cleanup .
$ svn commit -m "added files in /src"
svn: Working copy '/blah/blah/blah/repos' locked
svn: run 'svn cleanup' to remove locks (type 'svn help cleanup' for
details)


I've tried to "svn revert" but I can't revert while my working copy is
locked.
I've got a trunk and a branch in my repository.  When I try "svn
cleanup" on my branches directory, I get the following (seemingly
idempotent) help message:

$  svn cleanup branches
svn: Your .svn/tmp directory may be missing or corrupt; run 'svn
cleanup' and try again
svn: Can't open file '.svn/tmp/entries': No such file or directory

When "svn cleanup" tells me to run "svn cleanup" I figure its time to
ask the experts for help.

Many thanks, 

Steve

Scott - 

In this case I've had to checkout a fresh copy to a temp directory and
replace the working copy .svn folder with the one from the fresh
checkout.
