I can write a message when placing a file lock using TortoiseSVN . Then I can use the Repository Browser to see that the file is locked. It even shows a column with the programmer who locked the file. But where can I see the message remaining after locking the file?
The option "Show log" in the repository browser does not include even the moments when the file is locked.
You can use the Check Changes dialog on your working copy. Click Check Repository to get the latest data.
I do not know about TortoiseSVN, but
svn info url/to/file
shows lock data with comment
