SVN: Failed to Get Lock on Destination Repos
Causes of "Failed to Get Lock on Destination Repos" Error
Authentication Failure or Insufficient Credentials
An authentication failure or insufficient credentials can prevent the Subversion server from prompting for credentials. This can occur when the server is incorrectly configured.
Remote Lock
If the remote repository has a lock property set, it will prevent you from loading the dump file. You can remove the lock property using the svn command line on the remote site.
Incorrect Server Powering
In some cases, the error may be caused by the Subversion server not being powered correctly.
Fixes for "Failed to Get Lock on Destination Repos" Error
