locking a directory
Hi,
the lock command seems to allow locking of files, but not of directories.
What I would like to do is to temporary lock a branch URL to prevent
others from committing to that branch while merging some work into it.
Any idea of how to achieve this?
Regards,
Sebastien

"Subversion's locking feature is currently limited to files only—it's
not yet possible to reserve access to a whole directory tree."

hmmm, the 'svn help lock' command says...
-------------------------------------------------------
lock: Lock working copy paths or URLs in the repository, so that
no other user can commit changes to them.

it doesnt specifically mention files or dirs.
I tried locking files with no effect (neither using the wc path nor
using the url)...
