As jerenkrantz already pointed out: last November, a great number of
svn developers met at ApacheCon and came up with a very complex,
post-1.0 locking system, documented in notes/.

Regarding this patch, I have one question: why can't this be done
with a pre-commit hook script? Your company can invent their own
property ("mycompany-lock:author"), attach it to files, and your
custom pre-commit hook can look for the property on changed-files in
the transaction. If present, disallow the commit.
