Problem

If a user creates a project and sharing it with SVN, it is automatically in status "locked".
If the user forgets to "unlock" and is absent, there is no way to unlock it in Mapping Services.

Resolution

The unlock could be done on SVN server side.

Command :
svn unlock location_of_the_project/.project

Example to unlock the project "just_global" :
svn unlock http://item-ax12345.wks.axway.int/svn/mappingservices/mapping_services/projects/teste_1/just_global/.project
