Description

If I lock a file in a working copy and then break the lock by locking the URL
(or locking the file in some other working copy) the commit error is poor:

Sending        wc/A/f
Transmitting file data .svn: E175002: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: E175002: PUT of '/obj/repo/!svn/txr/1-2/A/f': 412 Precondition Failed

With 1.7/neon the error was:

Sending        wc/A/f
Transmitting file data .svn: E195022: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: E195022: File '/home/pm/sw/subversion/obj/wc/A/f' is locked in another
working copy
svn: E170007: No lock on path '/obj/repo/!svn/txr/1-3/A/f' (Status 423 on PUT
Request)
svn: E175002: Server sent unexpected return value (423 Locked) in response to
PUT request for '/obj/repo/!svn/txr/1-3/A/f'
