Subversion provides a means to force locks. Releasing a lock held by someone else is referred to as *Breaking* the lock, and forcibly acquiring a lock which someone else already holds is referred to as *Stealing* the lock. Naturally these are not things you should do lightly if you want to remain friends with your co-workers. ]]] -- With best regards, Pavel Lyalyakin VisualSVN Team -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TortoiseSVN" group.
