Working copy locked
- Occasionally a project will get interrupted committing a file and a project will get locked:
- To unlock the project, goto the command line and run:
Export - exclude .svn
- To export from local working copy, excludes .svn files.
- Useful to prepare an archive to promote to website.
- This will export the website to tmp, without any of the .svn files.
