Re: [Gnu-arch-users] Commit Failure

[John F Meinel Jr]

Well, I asked earlier, and I was able to break a lock. However, now 
neither tla lock-revision -u or -b work. There is no revision lock that 
I can tell, (there is nothing in the directory), and it just complains 
that it can't rename the file.

If I try no flag:
$ tla lock-revision doc-vip--dev--0.1--patch-3
It says:
lock-revision: error locking revision 
address@hidden/doc-vip--dev--0.1--patch-3 -- could not rename 
file.

If I try -b:
lock-revision: unkown lock state for 
address@hidden/doc-vip--dev--0.1--patch-3
  (lock was in transition -- consider retrying)

If I try -u:
lock-revision: error unlocking revision 
address@hidden/doc-vip--dev--0.1--patch-3 -- lock not held

So what do I try next?
It's possible that I messed this up at some time by trying to modify the 
directory manually. However, I don't _think_ I modified this dir.
