If it really was a hung lock, only the sourceforge people can unlock it.

But more likely you just happened to access during the more than an hour it 
took to apply the merged_to_RC_1_30_0 tag. There was a delay of more than 
ten minutes right at the end with no apparent activity.

I don't know why it took so long, unless it had to do with tagging at a 
past date rather than the current state.

Let me know if you continue to have problems,
