We went over this at great length early on. Karl wanted "svn lock
filename" to update the file; other people (including me) wanted it to
simply fail if the file wasn't up to date. I believe my side won the
argument, and the planned machinery was that svn_ra_lock() would take a
file version number (optional) so that the server could verify that the
file is up to date when locking it. I don't know how we got off-course.
