Subversion is designed such that the centralized repository may only
be written to sequentially so that concurrent updates do not corrupt
the data. 

For this reason, if there is a subverion operation (such as check-in
or check-out) in progress a lock-file is temporarily written into your
repository to delay the other subversion operations.

However, if such operation fails in the middle (for example, the
TortoiseSVN client disconnects or computer crashes), then the "stale"
lock-file remains there and no further operations are possible.

This is what the above message indicates. "Cleanup" is to remove stale
locks. To run it, rigt-click on the local copy of the repository,
select "TortoiseSVN" --> "Clean up..."
