Q1:
R: If you did a reverse merge (from v3 to v2) before editing v2 to get
v4 then you will see v1,2,3,4.
What is the revision number after commiting v4?
If you really need a non-linear editing, you should consider the svn
copy command to branch out.
Q2.
R: Subversion does allow locking (please read red-bean).
Beware of the terminology: checkout in some VCS means get a copy + lock,
that what you meant I believe. Not with subversion
Q3.
R: try svn status -h
Q4.
R: Yes/No depending on: if it is a text file for not. If is a text file:
yes. If it can't, it will set a flag to need to be resolved to warn you.
