So essentially, it sounds like people want the client's wc
commit-crawling algorithm to consider a locked-file a "committable"
candidate, just like a modified item or schedule-add/delete item.

If so, I agree with brane. 'svn st' will list a locked file as
"interesting', whether or not it's been edited (which we were planning
to do anyway), and if the crawler harvests the locked file as a
"committable", then it should automatically show up in $EDITOR.

But still, I'd like to hear more opinions...
