svn cleanup — Recursively clean up the working copy
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 the cleanup process
to complete any required merging using your external diff
program. You can also specify any configuration directory
with the --config-dir option, but you
should need these options extremely infrequently.
