RE: Adding LAN support to Subversion - Clarification

That is basically what I would like to do. However, I want to add some code
so that this only happens if the user types in lan:/// instead of file:///

Where is the code that looks at the URL and then determines which RA to use?

You mean "RA" layer (Repository Access).

Take a look at libsvn_ra_local, libsvn_ra_dav, libsvn_ra_svn. Those
are the three example implementations of the vtable in svn_ra.h.

Rather than write a whole new RA library, I imagine you want to simply
write a custom hack/patch against libsvn_ra_local's open() function.
Whenever someone tries to run RA->open(), you check for a lockfile, or
possibly create one. That will guarantee that only one person can
ever open the repository at a time.
