Probably it's locked the same way the d-i svn repo did several times.
Interestingly, this happened again to d-i yesterday after being fine for
a long time.

My fix for this is scary and not very safe, but here goes. Anyone who
is in the project's group should be able to do it. Just mv
/svn/<project>/locks out of the way, and then cp -a it back into place.
All the stuck processes (which people should kill) will keep hanging on
the old locks, and new processes will stop blocking. You'll need to do a
svnadmin recover after this. If one of the old processes wakes up, there
is a nonzero chance this will corrupt your svn repository, so be sure to
take a backup first. :-(

Hmm.. except that the relevant files in /svn/console-data are owned by
group "wiggy", and not the console-data group. I don't know why.
