I would put this the other way.
1) File has svn:needs-lock, wc has no lock -> overlay = 'no entry'
2) File has svn:needs-lock, wc does have lock -> overlay =
'insubversion'
3) the file doesn't have svn:needs-lock, -> 0verlay = 'insubversion'

Either way it is 1 extra overlay and a possible change to an existing
one.

I don't personally like the idea of showing a key for files which are
not involved in locking, and the existing green in-subversion icon
implies that you can edit anyway. But as I said before, that's really
just tinkering with the overlay images and doesn't imply a change to the
code. If you want a green key, you can submit an icon set which has
'insubversion' replaced with 'green key'.
