Working copy locked when using CTRL-C at password prompt

Hi,

Here's something I consider a bug, it's certainly an annoyance / usability issue.

Steps:
1) Start making a commit using the command line client:svn ci -m Whatever

2) When prompted for password press CTRL+C to quit.


Having quit successfully, I subsequently discover my working copy is locked.  My working copy is quite big and it takes several minutes to do a cleanup.


In this scenario I would expect CTRL+C to quite gracefully, without leaving the working copy locked.

Regards,

Geoffrey Swift.

Could you try to at least tell us which version of the Subversion client
you're using on which platform?
