title: svn: E155037: Previous operation has not finished; run 'cleanup' if it was interrupted

  <pre><code>svn: E155037: Previous operation has not finished; run 'cleanup' if it was interrupted
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Looking at other posts, the most likely solution is to do an SVN cleanup in the current working copy, however, the directory I am trying to checkout into isn't even a working copy.  In fact, if I create a new folder and try to do a checkout from there I get the same message.  If I do an svn cleanup from this directory, I get the expected error message: </p>
  
  <pre><code>svn: E155007: 'C:\Users\workspace\project1' is not a working copy directory.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a global database that SVN uses I need to flush?   I am using Windows 7 and I have Tortoise SVN installed but I am using the CollabNet Subversion Command-Line Client v1.8.9 (for Windows) for all my operations.  I did however clear all log files associated with Tortoise SVN.</p>
