Body
I'm trying to find a way to remove zombie locks using the Subversion command line tools. The eventual goal is to do this from a hook script, but I haven't been able to work out the command line to use when you only have a physical repository path. (Using svnadmin rmlocks only seems to work for locks which exist in the HEAD revision.) Ideally, I'd like to do this via the post-commit hook script using the command line tools. (I'm aware of the python script for this purpose, but we'd prefer not to install python on that server for this single use.) We're a .NET shop, so creating a tool with the SharpSVN library is also a possibility, but the only unlock capability there appears to be in the SVNClient class. So it's really two questions: Is there a way to do this with the command line tools? If not, is there a way to do it from SharpSVN? (Or perhaps another library?) == Update Dec 3, 2012 == I've had to revisit this problem recently and discovered this question is still drawing traffic. The python script mentioned in the original question and Don's answer has since moved to: <a href="http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/contrib/hook-scripts/remove-zombie-locks.py" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/contrib/hook-scripts/remove-zombie-locks.py</a> (I assume that's what most folks are looking for.) Ironically, even though the repository has moved to Linux, we're using the C solution.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
