+In poking around at the svn backend I found that the svn post-commit 
+hook calls to svn update fail regularly with an error code of 256. 
+Apparently during the post-commit hook can't update because the 
+working copy is locked from the commit. Since the post-commit hook doesn't send
+errors anywhere and svn update runs with --quiet anyhow, this error
+isn't usually visible, but on my system:
+
+    ethan@sundance:~/tests/webtemplates/ikiwiki3/wc$ svn commit -m "Blah.."
+    Sending        index.mdwn
+    Transmitting file data .
+    Committed revision 3.

+A sample error message (obtained through file redirection) is:
+
+    svn: Working copy '.' locked
+    svn: run 'svn cleanup' to remove locks (type 'svn help cleanup' for details)
+
+Did I do something stupid again or is this the case on your system too?
