The problem with depending on a server

So here at iola we use subversion internally. It’s ridiculus that the following use case doesn’t work:

<do stuff>

svn commit

<do stuff>

svn commit

<I forgot what I had written in last commit log>

svn log (local copy out of date, only shows revision before the first commit)

svn update

svn: Working copy ‘.’ locked
svn: run ‘svn cleanup’ to remove locks (type ‘svn help cleanup’ for details)
