Asked by Abhilash Muthuraj

abhilash@abhilash:~/file$ bzr push lp:~abhilashm86/+junk/window --use-existing-dir
Unable to obtain lock lp-45197200:///~abhilashm86/+junk/window/.bzr/branch/lock

Will continue to try until 06:33:39, unless you press Ctrl-C
If you're sure that it's not being modified, use bzr break-lock lp-45197200:///~abhilashm86/+junk/window/.bzr/branch/lock
bzr: ERROR: Could not acquire lock "(remote lock)"

i just created a branch, wanted to upload file, but what does this above error means, i'm unable to un lock as the protocol is not supporting..........
how to just ignore or unlock this?

The lp: transport supports breaking locks, so you should be able to break the lock by doing this

  bzr break-lock lp:~abhilashm86/+junk/window

Have you tried that?

As for your question about locking, bzr needs to do so whenever it performs an operation that writes to the branch.
