Just to clarify.  I had two Terminal windows open.  In one of them, I
was in the /branches/2.3.x folder and ran svn up.

In the other, I was in the /trunk folder and ran svn up.  This is the
one that failed and the error message said:

svn: E155004: Working copy '/Users/markphip/work/svnedge' locked.
subversion/libsvn_wc/wc_db.c:10690: (apr_err=155004)
svn: E155004: '/Users/markphip/work/svnedge/branches' is already locked.
svn: run 'svn cleanup' to remove locks (type 'svn help cleanup' for details)

Why did it lock the folder above /branches if /branches is the parent
of what I was updating?
