'checkout' state

Hi,

        I know it's not what SVN does, but is it possible to know if another
user is working on a file? The merging concept does not work so well for
binary files such as word documents. Is any tool available to allow users to
set such a flag? (reminds me of the conch from the Lord of the Flies)

Cheers,

          :D
