This doesn't affect any data you have but only the internal states of the working copy database. This is the actual Cleanup command you know from older TortoiseSVN clients or other SVN clients. Break write locks. If checked, all write locks are removed from the working copy database. For most situations, this is required for the cleanup to work!
