Consider Lock Required for SVN Move

We are deploying SVN as a content management replacement for Documentum. As
such it is being used by less tech savy users. We are implementing the
svn:needs-lock property to reduce the possibility of these users creating
conflicts. That is working well.

SVN Move is a chink in that armor. User A moves (happens to be with
Tortoise, but that is just the client, not the underlying architecture) a
file to a different folder. As it does not have to be locked, if the user
does not check the file in, User B can still open the file from the original
folder without knowledge that user A moved the file. Eventually everything
can be sorted out, but if the SVN Move operation of an object with
svn:needs-lock property required the lock, the second user would not be able
to obtain his/her lock on that object until the User A committed the move
change.

Architecturally requiring that, seems consistent with the concept of a lock.

Thanks for your consideration.
