There is no way to do that. But you can set it up so that all files
require themselves to be locked before changes can be made. I think
that's what you really meant.

That's a shame! :)

Well, it didn't do what you thought it should do, perhaps. Editing
the config file in the .subversion directory in anyone's home
directory will cause those settings to apply when that user is using
the repository as a client. So, editing the file in
root's .subversion directory will have an effect whenever you use the
svn command line client as root. It's not what you were trying to do,
but that's what editing that file does.

Irrelevant; the .subversion directory is for Subversion clients, not
for Subversion servers.

I would suggest you do both of these things:

1. Set up auto-props on every client computer so that every file
automatically gets the svn:needs-lock property added.

2. Write a pre-commit hook in the repository so that any commit of a
new file that does not have the svn:needs-lock property gets rejected.

In this way, you ensure that all files in the repository will have
the svn:needs-lock property on them, which will require everyone to
"svn lock" a file before they can edit it.

Note that by default any user can steal any other user's lock. I
believe there are more hook scripts you can write to prevent that.
