I got this error, "locking the remote repository failed", while trying to clone a repository using MercurialEclipse. I've attempted this several times, always with the same result, but have successfully cloned several other repos from this same server.

After searching the web, I came across an article which suggested that the problem may be attempting to do an clone with the --uncompressed option. I checked my clone dialog in eclipse, and I had had that option set since the server was on our LAN. I deselected the option and it worked like a champ.
Apparently, if the server doesn't have permission to lock the repository, it is unable to service an uncompressed clone request. This is definitely not intuitive (to me) so I thought I'd share it here.
I hope it helps the next person with this symptom… The original article can be found here.
