I think if we implement directory locking and you hold a file lock already,
then you should be able to acquire the directory lock. If someone *else* has
an active lock on a file in that dir, then I guess 'svn lock' on a directory
should error out with a message from the server.

FWIW, I'm with C-Mike: I'd rather see directory locking not have any
inherited/recursive properties - it'd just lock any modifications, deletions
or additions to the directory.

I wouldn't think so.

Good question. But, I'd think not. Nothing you did regarding file1 in your
example above was communicated to the server. -- justin
