ok, everything should be locked now, with the exception of   include,  
ntoskrnl/include , media,   modules,   regtests

I've just tried unlocking rbuild and explorer with my own user account 
and it worked fine.
However it appears the lock must be broken before the svn:needs-lock 
property is removed.

For completeness, here is the method once again:

- Right click on the file / directory you want to unlock, navigate to 
tortoiseSVN and select 'check for modifications'
- Select the file(s) you want to unlock, right click and select 'break 
the lock'. SVN will automatically contact the repo and unlock the files.
- Remove the svn:needs-lock property from the files and commit to ensure 
they are no longer checked out as read only.

Happy auditing....
