Subversion 1.2, files needing locks, and commit

Hi,

I've been waiting for version 1.2 for a while now, and tried it for the
first time over the weekend. It looks very good - I've just got a question:

It seems that if I have a file which has the svn:needs-lock property set,
but currently noone has taken the lock, if I alter my working copy of that
file, and then just do a svn commit, the file will be submitted into the
repository. Is this correct? I've tried when another user does have the
lock, and again the commit tries to upload the changed file, but fails with
the fact the other user has the lock.

The reason I ask is that currently we use a system where you have to lock
then modify, and submit changes. We've got into the habit of being able to
make temporary changes to files with no risk of them being uploaded to the
latest version.

Many thanks for any feedback,

 - Dave.
