SVN 1.6 also locked the parent directory, so the different areas had to be at least two dirs away from each other. > Example > --------- > WC/data/folder1/folder11 > WC/data/folder2/folder22 > > A user could have 2 shells open, cd to folder11 and folder22 respectively. > Then at the same time run svn commands (commits, updates, switches). > > > Now that we have upgraded to SVN 1.7 we are regularly getting sqlite locked > error messages. > svn: E200033: sqlite: database is locked > We suspect it is because we are doing concurrent svn commands like the above. In SVN <= 1.6, ever subdir of a working copy was a working copy itself, so most operations were restricted to just that directory (and to some extent its parent). Starting with 1.7, the whole working copy has only only one central place where metadata is stored, and during operations on that data it must be locked against other accesses. Summary: Yes, concurrent svn commands will fail. > The consequence of this is that we must run svn cleanup , ususally > from the root checkout.

Instead, just check out the parts that you actually need. This also makes it much easier to create another WC to do experiments on a project therein by just copying it. BTW: In 1.6, there was the same problem when the separate dirs were not sufficiently far apart. SVN then said the WC was locked and suggested to run cleanup. However, running cleanup isn't actually necessary. The assumption behind the error message was that nobody would run commands concurrently, so the conclusion of finding the lock was that there must have been a command that was interrupted before it cleaned up its locks. This isn't the case though, the other command will run to an end and then clean up its locks, and then you can continue working on it without any cleanup! Greetings from Hamburg!
