To get the model you want, you need to set every file so it has the
svn:needs-lock property set true - this will make all files read-only
when your developers check out working copies, and they will be advised
that to make changes, they need to get the lock on the files they want
to change.
See the TSVN manual, section 5.18.
In TSVN, this is achieved by TSVN|Settings|Edit Config. However,
there's no mechanism to do this centrally - it's a feature that's marked
on the Subversion roadmap (repository-defined autoprops -
http://subversion.tigris.org/roadmap.html). In the meantime, your
developers will have to tell each other if they change it, so they can
all be on the same page.
What you _could_ do is store the config in a repository, and then teach
developers to update it regularly. Or write a scheduled task to do an
svn update on it every x days or whatever.
You could also maybe use Orca (from the MS platform SDK) to edit the
content of the MSI to insert your own config file - but I don't know
much about that.
