locking directories

[Sebastien LEDUC <se...@st.com>]

Hi,
it seems svn's lock command works only for files and not for directories:
svn lock file://myrepos/mydirectory
svn: 'mydirectory' is not a file in filesystem '/myrepos/db'

I am looking for a way to temporarily forbid any commit from other 
people in a particular directory (and all its subdirectories).

Any idea of how to achieve this?

Thanks in advance

Sebastien

You could write a pre-commit hook preventing modifications to that  
directory.

Here's an example which blocks any changes to any directory called  
"tags"; you could use it as a basis for your script.
