Tortoise Right-Click Menu

Just a little one I found, on the right-click in Explorer you sometimes get a "SVN Get Lock" and sometimes you don't (If you don't then it's available in the Tortoise sub-menu anyway). I thought that this was a little inconsistent at first but since playing with the properties on the server I see that the menu option appears if the "svn:needs-lock" property is set for that file on the server.

BTW, setting the lock property of multiple files is rather difficult in Tortoise, well, not difficult, just laborious as it only allows you to do it one at a time. You can do it to a whole load by using a Linux machine, install SVN on it ("sudo apt-get install svn" for Ubuntu/Mint/Debian based distros) then you can use the command line:

$ svn propset svn:needs-lock 1 *.asp

The above sets it for all asp files, use a different spec for that, remember to commit your changes after though using the "svn commit" command.
