Another thing novices should know is that you have to do this from
Explorer. If you do it from the repo-browser, there is no associated
working copy, and so no local files will become read-write. (Likewise,
if you unlock from the repo-browser, any working copies you have will
remain untouched.)

This is the sort of thing that seems very obvious to anyone with
TortoiseSVN experience, but to a new user, perhaps accustomed to using a
special browser UI, they may try to work in a more repo-browser-centric
manner.
