This documentation was written to describe Subversion 1.2. If you are running a newer version of Subversion, we strongly suggest that you visit http://www.svnbook.com/ and consult the version of this book appropriate for your version of Subversion.
svn cleanup — Recursively clean up the working copy.
Recursively clean up the working copy, removing working copy locks and resuming unfinished operations. If you ever get a “working copy locked” error, run this command to remove stale locks and get your working copy into a usable state again.
If, for some reason, an svn update
fails due to a problem running an external diff program
(e.g. user input or network failure), pass the
--diff3-cmd to allow cleanup to complete
any merging with your external diff program. You can also
specify any configuration directory with the
--config-dir switch, but you should need
these switches extremely infrequently.
