title: svn: external failed directory error Can't obtain lock on non-directory 'directory'
body: <p>I have just loaded some old files and directories of an old project onto my PC from SVN to debug an issue.</p>
  
  <p>I am getting the following when trying to update the working directory:</p>
  
  <pre><code>external failed directory error Can't obtain lock on non-directory 'directory'
