## Name

svn unlock — Unlock working copy paths or URLs.

## Synopsis

`svn unlock TARGET...`

## Description

Unlock each `TARGET`. If any `TARGET` is locked by another user or no valid lock token exists in the working copy, print a warning and continue unlocking the rest of the `TARGET`s. Use `--force` to break a lock belonging to another user or working copy.

## Options

    --force
    --targets FILENAME

## Examples

Unlock two files in your working copy:

    $ svn unlock tree.jpg house.jpg
    'tree.jpg' unlocked.
    'house.jpg' unlocked.

Unlock a file in your working copy that is currently locked by another user:

    $ svn unlock tree.jpg
    svn: E195013: 'tree.jpg' is not locked in this working copy
    $ svn unlock --force tree.jpg
    'tree.jpg' unlocked.

Unlock a file without a working copy:

    $ svn unlock http://svn.red-bean.com/repos/test/tree.jpg
    'tree.jpg unlocked.

For further details, see the section called “Locking”.
