Okay, then there must be something strange with this local disk; or a second process is interfering with 'svn' trying to lock its database. In any case, no network is involved then, so "flaky network" can't be the cause of your problem. The error you received specifically points to a problem while locking the working copy database: [[[ svn: E200033: Another process is blocking the working copy database, or the underlying filesystem does not support file locking; if the working copy is on a network filesystem, make sure file locking has been enabled on the file server svn: E200033: sqlite[S5]: database is locked svn: E200042: Additional errors: svn: E200033: sqlite[S5]: database is locked svn: E200030: sqlite[S1]: cannot start a transaction within a transaction svn: E200030: sqlite[S1]: cannot start a transaction within a transaction ]]] To be clear: the "working copy database" is an sqlite database in the "wc.db" file inside the .svn directory at the root of your working copy. I'm not sure what else to suggest, but "something" is preventing 'svn' from locking its database; and since you're using a local disk, it seems to me that "network" is not involved in this locking process. BTW, what version of SVN are you using? -- Johan
