atomic locking

Is there a way to get svn_client_lock to do an all-or-nothing lock?

Right now when it encounters an error during lock the function gives a
warning but keeps locking.

For instance:

  user1% svn lock a

  user2% svn lock a b

  svn: warning: Path '/trunk/a' is already locked by user 'user1 in
filesystem '/svn/test/db'

  'b' locked by user 'user2.

Is this a bug or intended behavior? I can see this being useful for
collections of binary data.

Thanks,

Eric
