[jira] [Commented] (SVN-4857) Add PC Name to lock

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-4857?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17104299#comment-17104299 ] 

Daniel Shahaf commented on SVN-4857:
------------------------------------

The obvious per-computer working copy identifier is the wcroot_abspath (= path to the working copy), but:

1. We'd have to have an opt-in for that.

2. (IP address, wcroot_abspath) may not be unique if the IP address is the external address of an IPv4 NAT gateway. 

3. The wcroot_abspath is not already available to the server, so making this happen would require marshalling a new datum over the RA layer.  That's not hard, but is a bit of work.

Shall we continue the discussion on on dev@?  Chris, you're welcome to join the thread as well.

> Add check box in configuration that appends the PC Name along with current user to the locked by field. I log into multiple PC's using the same user name, and modify a common repo on all of them. At the end of the day it gets confusing which PC's had specific locks. All I know is that they are all locked by my user name.
