The freeze_repository command turns a melted repository (i.e., a repository
that contains a work-in-progress document) into a frozen repository (i.e., 
a repository that contains a document that will not be edited any more).

A work-in-progress document is referenced by using a citation key without
year, that is, the citation key contains the expression ::

When a repository is frozen, the current year is automatically inserted
between the :'s and the write permission is turned off for all the
files in the repository.

WHEN TO USE the remove_repository command?

When a document will not be changed any more.

HOW TO USE the remove_repository command?

Go to the following directory:

col/dpi.inpe.br/banon/1995/08.08.00.00/not_sent/library_service

(
for example if the current directory is the one in which you have
installed the initial collection (e.g. URLib), just execute the line

cd col/dpi.inpe.br/banon/1995/08.08.00.00/not_sent/library_service
)

then execute the line

freeze_repository <repository name>

Example:

freeze_repository dpi.inpe.br/banon/1995/09.07.12.55

will freeze the dpi.inpe.br/banon/1995/09.07.12.55 repository.

OBSERVATION

All the referenced repositories of the current repository are also frozen.
