None that I'm aware of. I guess we could add a command to svnadmin that obtains a read lock (blocking all writers) and waits forever until it is killed. If that's considered useful. However, this may cause all repository snapshots to be read-locked as well once they're restored from backup. So a mechanism to detect stale locks might also need to be devised. I'm not sure if such a mechanism is already present. Stefan
