We have some files in our project that can't be merged and hence the files must be locked by the users before editing them. Is there a way to force the user to lock a file before editing?
We are using Subversion and Tortoise/visualSVN

A:
Two steps:
- put the svn:needs-lock property on those files. That way they are check out read-only
- when such a file must be modified, use the svn lock command and commit as usual
