Name
svn cleanup – Recursively clean up the working copy.
Synopsis
svn cleanup [PATH…]
Description
Recursively clean up the working copy, removing
working copy locks and resuming unfinished operations.
If you ever get a “working copy locked” error,
run this command to remove stale locks and get your working copy
into a usable state again.
If, for some reason, an svn update
fails due to a problem running an external diff program
(e.g. user input or network failure), pass the
--diff3-cmd to allow cleanup to complete
any merging with your external diff program. You can also
specify any configuration directory with the
--config-dir option, but you should need
these options extremely infrequently.
Options
--diff3-cmd CMD
--config-dir DIR
Examples
Well, there's not much to the examples here as
svn cleanup generates no output. If
you pass no PATH,
“.” is used.
$ svn cleanup
$ svn cleanup /path/to/working-copy
