title: I cannot commit changes after merge in SVN
body: <p>I had a problem with committing changes after merging two branches of my project using TortoiseSVN.</p>
  
  <p>Here are details:</p>
  
  <p>I did a merge branch to trunk of <em>project</em> which I am working on. </p>
  
  <p><em>Project</em> includes main repository and libraries joint to main repository as <em>svn external</em> (libraries are also branched) as subdirectory of <em>project</em>.</p>
  
  <p>When I was trying to commit changes TortoiseSVN said:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Commit A
  re all the targets part of the same working copy? 
  Unable to lock 'D:\websites\project\lib' 
  Please execute the "Cleanup" command.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Of course <em>Cleanup</em> didn't help.</p>
  
  <p><em>svn:external</em> keyword for <em>project</em> directory was well defined, also <em>lib</em> folder still contained proper version of libraries (trunk version).</p>
  
  <p>Both SVN server and client are in 1.5.x version (TortoiseSVN is 1.5.3.x).</p>
  
  <p>From technical point of view both <em>project</em> and <em>libraries</em> are projects in the same SVN repository.</p>
  
  <p>Any idea what went wrong?</p>
  
  <p>I had been googling a bit for the solution, but didn't find anything useful, so I tried to commit my changes in two steps:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>commit changes from project folder</li>
  <li>commit changes from libraries folder</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Which went without any problems.</p>
  
  <p>But I am still wondering why I couldn't commit everything in one commit.</p>
  
  <p>EDITS:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>(After Ken G answer) Fixed version of TortoiseSVN 1.3.x -> 1.5.3.x.</li>
  </ul>
