Resolving “Failed to get lock on destination repos” in svnsync
tl;dr
A stale lock is blocking svnsync — add --steal-lock to the command once you’re sure nobody else is accessing the repo.
If you are getting the following error during svnsync:
Failed to get lock on destination repos, currently held by 'computername:uuid'
There may be a stale lock left on the repository.
If you are sure — after waiting for a short while — that nobody is accessing the repository, you can override the lock by adding the --steal-lock parameter to the svnsync command.
