As you can see, svn makes it rather easy for anyone to "break the lock"

I read that just a couple days ago. Anyone can break a Subversion lock. That's one more point in favor of implementing one's own locking mechanism against IBM i source members, as an option. At least, that would be one way of blocking other's changes to a source member in the library file system, if that's what a programmer intends.

Of course, that wouldn't prevent anyone from getting a copy of the member from the Subversion repository, and committing changes to it, in the mean time. In that case, it would put the onus on the IBM i Subversion client to not forward those changes (copy) to the library-file-member; but rather to honor the lock.
