We are currently using SVN in the checkout-modify-merge mechanism and instead I want to re-configure the SVN server so that we change this to lock-modify-unlock mechanism. We use Tortoise SVN client and I saw that it is possible to individually change the property of single files to enforce the "needs-lock" property but this is too laborious and instead I am looking at some way through which we can change something on the svn server side that causes all the files to apply the "needs-lock" property. Thanks for the help !

A:
Read http://stackoverflow.com/questions/711053/automatically-add-svnneeds-lock
Since you use Tortoise SVN you should especially read the part about tsvn:autoprops.

A:
On the server side you can't change a thing like this. What would be possible to prevent people from checking in files which don't have the property (svn:needs-lock) set...via Hook script. But that's not a recommended way to work with SVN.
