Because we can't keep it up to date reliably. It would be a faulty
cache.

Also, because we don't necessarily agree that you shouldn't be able to
edit a file someone has locked. (You shouldn't be able to *commit* your
edit, but that's a separate matter.) The svn:needs-lock property, which
is intended to be set manually, is intended to cover the case of files
which shouldn't be edited when someone else might have the lock.
