Subversion has no such feature, which is why you can't find anything about it.

You can approach this a couple of ways. 2 that come to mind immediately:
1) Junior developer (JD) submits patches to the senior developer (SD).
SD reviews the patch & commits when he's satisfied.
2) JD gets his own private branch & can commit to it all day long.
When he's ready for a code review, SD looks it over & merges JD's work
into trunk (or wherever your main development is done). This will
require that JD's branch be kept up to date with regular merges from
trunk so that he's not conflicting with other peoples' work.
