无法使用SVN锁定目录中的所有文件

Question

Is there an easy way to lock all files in directory for svn. As I know we cannot lock all directory?

Answer 1

You can lock a folder hierarchy on the server side by committing an svn property like this:

svn propset lock TRUE trunk/project/folder
svn commit -m "Files locked for debugging" trunk/project/folder

You can release the lock using svn propdel .

Answer 2

In source repository, contents are stored in files, directory(Folder) is a structure/Path to actual contents/files. if you rename any directory, you can understand more on this.

Generally, folder/directory is a collection of files.

So if you want to lock a root folder, then you follow given procedure. 1. Select the root directory you wish to lock, then perform right click 2. Then click TortoiseSVN->GetLock..., so dialog will be displayed with all available files under the directory you selected, including files under child directory.

You can select whatever files you wish to lock, Please not Locking file means, you are locking the content in path specified.
