Locking a file in a moved folder

Hi,

Let's have the following folder/file structure:
 * f1
 ** test.txt

(so the file 'test.txt' is part of folder 'f1').

After renaming 'f1' to 'f2' (using svn rename) I get the following
error when executing:

>svn lock f2/test.txt
svn: Path '/f2/test.txt' doesn't exist in HEAD revision

Of course, it does not exist in the HEAD revision at that location,
because the folder is renamed. So, IMO it should lock the file
'test.txt' in path '/f1/test.txt' in the repository as I did not
commit my rename yet. How can I ensure locking in this case?

Regards,
Arjen Wisse
