That's not what was stated earlier in this thread:

"Not true. svn:needs-lock is a client-side thing. It communicates to
your fellow collegues that this file must be locked. The repository
doesn't care."

"The repository doesn't care" - you can commit changes without having
the file locked.
It appears that by not having the file locked changes are merely
*discouraged* by the client in that it will make the file read-only by
default.
