I mean, locked by the filesystem. On windows if

Sure, on Windows do the following:
  svnadmin create foo
  svn co file://(path to foo)
  cd foo
  echo foo > foo
  echo bar > bar
  svn add foo
  svn add bar
  svn ci
  echo foo >> foo
  echo bar >> bar
  svn ci
(ok, now you have foo and bar with 2 revisions)
  svn update -r 1
(ok, your working copy is on revision 1)
  svn update
(ok, both files get changed back to r2)
now run in 1 window:
  perl -e "open I, '<bar'; sleep 200; close I"
this locks the bar file. You can't rename it,
open it for writing, etc. There are many ways to
achieve this but this is the easiest one.
In the other window:
  svn update -r 1
You should now get an error when trying to update
bar. You working copy is now locked. Kill off the
perl and try to recover it...
Note that I've reproduced this behaviour with
windows SVN, TortoiseSVN, and linux SVN on to a
samba share.
I know that filing this as a P1 bug without
discussion was a little hasty :), but basically
this behaviour is stopping us replacing CVS with
SVN. In one situation, we have a module of lots
of perl tools, and we have a live checkout of
this on the group's path. If you were to try to
update the tools and someone happens to be
running one of them it will be locked, and we'll
end up shafted :(
