The rule is: If the server (=repository) knows about a lock for that file, one can only commit with the matching lock token. Working copies store the lock token when one locks a file there. However, this information can get out of sync, for example by: - "stealing" a lock using "--force", the old working copy still has the stale lock token. - Removing a lock on the server using svnadmin. - Duplicating the working copy (e. G. using "copy" on the shell or zipping it together and unpacking on a different machine) - then the first one to commit or unlock has a valid token, while the other one does not have a valid token. - Restoring an old working copy from a backup - the working copy may still have stale lock tokens for locks which were removed in the meantime.
