I have a svn checked out web application on a shared hosting linux server. The linux server has an svn client that I can access via ssh.

From my localhost, I did the following

> sshfs [email protected]:webappdir/ /media/webapp
> cd /media/webapp
> svn update
svn: Working copy '.' locked
svn: run 'svn cleanup' to remove locks (type 'svn help cleanup' for details)
> svn clean up

It's been 15 minutes and the svn clean up still isn't finished. I think it may have froze. So then I did the following:

> ssh [email protected]
> cd webappdir
> svn update
svn: This client is too old to work with working copy '.'; please get a newer Subversion client

So now I can't update my webappdir because my /media/webapp is stuck on svn clean up, and my shared hosting server's svn client is out of date. I don't have privileges to install a new svn client on the shared hosting server.

How do I get my svn update to work?
