Earlier versions do not support locking at all. The second is working copy locks , used internally by Subversion to prevent clashes between multiple Subversion clients operating on the same working copy.

And third, files and folders can get locked if they're in use by another process, for example if you have a word document opened in Word, that file is locked and can not be accessed by TortoiseSVN. You can generally forget about these other kinds of locks until something goes wrong that requires you to care about them.

By default, nothing is locked and anyone who has commit access can commit changes to any file at any time. Others will update their working copies periodically and changes in the repository will be merged with local changes. If you Get a Lock on a file, then only you can commit that file. Commits by all other users will be blocked until you release the lock.

A locked file cannot be modified in any way in the repository, so it cannot be deleted or renamed either, except by the lock owner. A lock is not assigned to a specific user, but to a specific user and a working copy.

Having a lock in one working copy also prevents the same user from committing the locked file from another working copy. As an example, imagine that user Jon has a working copy on his office PC. There he starts working on an image, and therefore acquires a lock on that file. When he leaves his office he's not finished yet with that file, so he doesn't release that lock. Back at home Jon also has a working copy and decides to work a little more on the project.

But he can't modify or commit that same image file, because the lock for that file resides in his working copy in the office. However, other users will not necessarily know that you have taken out a lock. Unless they check the lock status regularly, the first they will know about it is when their commit fails, which in most cases is not very useful. To make it easier to manage locks, there is a new Subversion property svn:needs-lock. When this property is set to any value on a file, whenever the file is checked out or updated, the local copy is made read-only unless that working copy holds a lock for the file.

This acts as a warning that you should not edit that file unless you have first acquired a lock. Files which are versioned and read-only are marked with a special overlay in TortoiseSVN to indicate that you need to acquire a lock before editing. Locks are recorded by working copy location as well as by owner. If you have several working copies at home, at work then you can only hold a lock in one of those working copies.

But, if the user tgs runs the command svn status -u it will display the letter B, which indicates that the lock has been broken as shown below. Now, running an svn update will clear the token of the Broken lock and then running svn status will return blank result.

This time, when the user tgs runs the command svn status -u, it will display letter T, indicating that lock has been stolen as shown below.

Issac on July 29, Sometimes when you try to commit a file to SVN repository, you might get a conflict message. Neil July 30, , am. Ramesh Natarajan July 31, , pm. Neil, Thanks for pointing out the typo.

It is fixed now. Pratik October 13, , pm.
