Somehow the working copy got 'locked'. You can install TortoiseSVN 1.6 (not 1.7) and issue a "Cleanup" command on the directory.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/tortoisesvn/files/1.6.16/Application/

Can you please also file a ticket in the support portal? We can look at a more elegant solution in future versions then.

Update: Mendix 4.1.0 and later use the new Subversion format and you need to download TortoiseSVN 1.7 to manipulate Modeler repositories.

Update 2: Mendix 8.0.0 needs TortoiseSVN 1.8 or newer. However, for this use case you do not need TortoiseSVN at all. Studio Pro will offer to unlock the working copy for you!
