Comment 8 for bug 404877

Why? The file system is shared but the process is not in the case of a shared home directory on a network file system (common in offices/organizations). I can't think of a case where the lock file is not seen and the process is running, but it's good to be careful. :)

Instead of 'svn co', try this command to download new changes:
$ svn update

If you edit a file locally and want to throw away your changes
$ svn revert cleaners/epiphany.xml

If you want to create a patch showing your change
$ svn diff cleaners/epiphany.xml
