cleanup

Synopsis

svn 
 cleanup [path ...]

Recursively clean up the working copy, removing 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 option 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 rarely need these options.
