Bug Description
I want to break a stale lock which was left by an interrupted uncommit:
sh-3.2$ bzr break-lock
bzr: ERROR: Could not acquire lock "LockDir(
Bzr didn't terminate after several minutes.
The branch is a checkout of a branch on a Samba share. That branch was created with bzr 0.17 on Linux. My Windows bzr 1.8 hints me at upgrading (but I don't because it should stay usable with bzr 0.17).
$ bzr --version

| summary: |
- break-lock complains about lock + cannot break dirstate lock |
It's not possible for us to break the OS lock we use for the dirstate file at the moment - you need to find the bzr process that's still using it and quit or terminate it. Eventually we will fix that, as part of bug 98836.
It might be possible for us to break the lock on only the branch, not the dirstate, but that may cause trouble if the process is still running and expects the lock to exist.
