You can do that with a wrapper round svn, there is no need to change
the core code.

I haven't been following this discussion, but I think you are
restricting this to files with svn:lock set. If one accepts that this
behaviour is desirable (I don't) should it not apply to all files?
How does your hypothetical user handle conflicts in files that don't
have svn:lock set?
