A lock is something that's assigned to the working copy the lock is in.
So Subversion doesn't store locks of others in your working copy. That's
why you can't see if someone else has locked a file in your working copy.
But you can find out if someone else has a lock:
"Check for modifications", then click on "Check repository". That will
make TSVN ask the repository server for any locks, and the dialog will
show you who has a lock on which file and the lock comment.
Or you can use the repository browser, which will also show you who has
a lock on a file.

That would be a feature request for the Subversion mailing list.
