The ability to `svn lock` files is very useful if your repo has a lot of
non-mergeable files, like say MS Office documents.
I have never once found that feature to be useful since I first used
Subversion back around 2001. Mind you, I'd treat Word documents as
binaries objects and not consider them suitable for incremental
changes in a source control system.

Y: I've never used that feature so it's useless.
You gotta love that kind of reasoning.
