Dear all,

I have problems in updating the svn tree:

[PowerBook17:~/Documents/trunk] tuexen% svn update .

Fetching external item into 'tools/pidl'
svn: Working copy 'tools/pidl' locked
svn: run 'svn cleanup' to remove locks (type 'svn help cleanup' for details)

Doing svn cleanup does not help:
[PowerBook17:~/Documents/trunk] tuexen% svn cleanup
[PowerBook17:~/Documents/trunk] tuexen% svn update .

Fetching external item into 'tools/pidl'
svn: Working copy 'tools/pidl' locked
svn: run 'svn cleanup' to remove locks (type 'svn help cleanup' for details)

Removing the tools/pidl directory did also not work.

Any ideas what is wrong?

Deleting the whole tools dir and then updating helped me.
