Getting exclusive access to the repository

The docs for 'svnadmin recover' say:

    WARNING: only run this when you are SURE you're the only process
    accessing the repository. Requires exclusive access.

How do you ensure that when using ra_svn with the ssh-tunnel option?
The best idea we came up with is copying the whole repository, doing the
recover and then moving it back. Why isn't there a lock that can be
taken to enforce this?
