Show colleagues locks BEFORE edit...

I appreciate that "Locking" doesnt fit easily with the subversion ethos, but there's one standout feature that would really complete the tool for me:

Showing other people's locks when updating my local source.

This is primarily for the purposes of forcing developers not to START making changes to specific files if they are being modified (i.e. important base objects &/or utilities).

At present, I can't see how to do this nicely - my colleagues can happily modify key base classes & only notice the lock when they want to commit - at which point they may have wasted time & effort already - I really want them to see a lock warning if they try to modify.
 
I'm happy with the general modify-commit-merge mechanism for 99% of my source, but it's just not convenient for certain key files, IF they are being modified.

Have I missed something?

Thanks
