It's not a lecture. Your original request runs counter to all best
practices of a multi-user Subversion repository. It may be a "feature"
of your environment but that "feature" will result in a lot of pain &
suffering at some point. At which point the loss of data will be
blamed on a deficiency in Subversion by someone in your organization,
when in fact the fault lies with how the environment is configured.
