lock/unlock as an atomic operation

Hello,

I am having a problem with the lock/unlock feature.

Almost every action in subversion is atomic eg. update, commit. When I add
files they move to the repositry when I commit. When I change some
properties of files it is reflected in the repository after a commit. If
the commit fails, nothing in the repository changes. This is why I like
subversion.

When it comes to lock/unlock this principle does not apply. I can not
schedule the files I want for locking and then commit this to the
repository. It happens that I am able to lock one file but not the other
wich I also need.

I would like to use lock/unlock more like changing a property of files.
This can be done in an atomic operation.

Will it someday be possible to do atomic lock/unlock?

Mit freundlichen Gruessen / Best regards

Frank Rast
