Comment 6 for bug 185200

I got into this mess, so I eventually figured out there are processes running which is actually holding the lock.
With the following command I was able to find them:
lsof |grep svn |less
then I killed them and I could work with my branches again.

The proper fix seems to be to use tdb:
[15:46:59] <jelmer> AmanicA: I pushed a change to bzr-svn 0.6 the other day that allows it to use tdb rather than sqlite
[15:47:16] <jelmer> AmanicA: tdb allows multiple writers (i.e. no more locking madness)
[15:47:29] <AmanicA> how do I activate that?
[15:47:46] <jelmer> AmanicA: install python-tdb
