Lock marks the file as such in the repository. Other users will not be
able to commit changes to that file because you hold the lock. This is
explained pretty well in the Subversion manual, probably the TSVN
manual as well.

However, by default, locks can be broken and/or stolen by anyone. They
are meant to be a communications vehicle, not an iron-clad prevention
mechanism.
