Josef, you're calling into question the core model of how CVS and
Subversion both work... the so-called "concurrent" versioning model.

This system is the natural result of not having a "lock-modify-unlock"
model. It depends on developers *communicating* with one another.

If Sam releases a tarball without telling Joe, this is problem with
programmers, not with Subversion. :-)

I'd suggest you read this part of the Design document:

  http://subversion.tigris.org/files/documents/15/17/svn-design.html

Take a look at the section labeled "Subversion Does Not Lock Files".
