I think we're talking about different problems here. My users aren't
so worried about seeing the latest repository-lock information as they
casually browse through Finder or Explorer, but they *would* like an
easy-to-run command that gives a 'locks report': "here are all the
current locks, and all their details".

This would certainly fix the annoying "have to type the whole URL"
problem that 'svn info URL' presents. But I still think we need the
ability to fetch a locks-report somehow. Maybe it's as simple as 'svn
st -u' getting a lock-owner field.
