These are 2 separate issues.

Whether or not you use subversion locking, file:// access to older _BDB_
repositories will not work in 1.2 due to the BDB upgrade.

Regardless of whether you use BDB, locking will not work securely for
file:// access if there are 1.1 clients in use. And think about it, you
_can't_ use BDB for shared file:// access because the BDB locking (not
subversion locking) doesn't work there. So this point actually only
applies to FSFS access anyway.
