Synopsis

svn lock path ...
svn lock URL

Set a lock token on a specified file to prevent other users or even the same user on another system from updating the file. Only the system with the lock token may commit changes. Locks are useful when working on binary files that cannot be merged. By default, Subversion’s locks are not strict, however. Locks can be broken or taken over by other users by using the --force option.
