tortoisesvn - Tortoise SVN error "Symbolic links are not supported on this platform" -


when try update sub folder of project, tortoise svn gives me error

working copy "c:\project\extensions" locked. "c:\project\extensions" locked 

i've tried cleanup \extensions level , c:\project level, both of give me-

cleanup failed process following paths: c:\projects symbolic links not supported on platform 

what going on?

although subversion can version symbolic links, subversion on windows not support them (true symlink support didn't come ntfs until windows 7 released). 1 of other users of repository has apparently created, added & committed 1 or more symlinks.

in place of symlink, iirc subversion give text file note inside telling symlink points to.

you need ask other users remove symlinks, possibly replacing them file-level externals simulate behavior. it's not ideal, it's can if you'll have windows clients using repository
