RE: Getting rid of locks (release command doesn't do anything

[Schwenk, Jeanie]

Here's the brute force method to deal with locks in unix.  It's VERY
dangerous.  You could first "exec ll" rather than "exec rm -rf" to see what
will be deleted.  I've used this here and it works but it gets ALL the locks
from the point you run it down.  So, if you run it from the top of the repo,
ALL locks in the repo will go away.  This might not be what you want.

        find . -name "\#cvs.[rw]fl*" -print -exec rm -rf {}\'

This will remove locks that look like:
    #cvs.wfl.dioptase.15497   (dioptase is a node name and the 15497 is the
pid)
    #cvs.rfl
    #cvs.wfl

You may also have lock directories that look like this:         #cvs.lock/


Just modify the above find to do the job.
