#3053: Interrupting an SVN operation can result in locked working copies on slaves
that require manual intervention
-------------------+-----------------------

Priority:  major   |  Milestone:  undecided
 Version:  0.8.9   |   Keywords:  svn
-------------------+-----------------------
 With buildbot v0.8.9 and master-side SVN steps, if an SVN operation is
 interrupted it can result in the working copy on the slave being left in a
 locked state. This causes further operations to fail immediately with the
 error:

 {{{svn: E155037: Previous operation has not finished; run 'cleanup' if it
 was interrupted}}}

 buildbot treats this error as a fatal error, rather than one that it can
 recover from. This currently requires manual intervention to correct.
 Ideally buildbot would recover by running "svn cleanup" as suggested.
 Alternatively, it could fall back to clobbering the working copy as is
 done for other classes of errors.
