hmmm, the 'svn help lock' command says...
-------------------------------------------------------
lock: Lock working copy paths or URLs in the repository, so that
no other user can commit changes to them.
-------------------------------------------------------
it doesnt specifically mention files or dirs.

I tried locking files with no effect (neither using the wc path nor
using the url)...
