I remember an earlier discussion

http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2005-03/0329.shtml

which seemed to conclude that locks would only be allowed on only
existing files. Both the fs backends have:

  /* While our locking implementation easily supports the locking of
     nonexistent paths, we deliberately choose not to allow such madness. */
  if (kind == svn_node_none)
    return svn_error_createf (SVN_ERR_FS_NOT_FOUND, NULL,
                              "Path '%s' doesn't exist in HEAD revision",
                              args->path);
