E200033: Another process is blocking the working copy database

Question

When I checkout from repository

sudo svn co --username me http://192.168.1.27/svn/project

I got the this error and checkout process terminated

svn: E200033: Another process is blocking the working copy database, or the underlying filesystem does not support file locking; if the working copy is on a network filesystem, make sure file locking has been enabled on the file server 
svn: E200033: sqlite[S5]: database is locked 
svn: E200042: Additional errors: 
svn: E200033: sqlite[S5]: database is locked 

I am unable to get checkout or update for this project (no cleanup, update, etc command working after getting error).

Answer 1

Follow the below steps:

 $ cd /my/repository/.svn 
 $ mv wc.db wc.db.old 
 $ sqlite3 wc.db.old 
 sqlite> .backup main wc.db
 sqlite> .exit

Afterwards, do a svn cleanup. 

svn: database is locked, executing statement 'RELEASE s0'
