Jerry, The philosophy of svn is more to intelligently merge changes when more than one person is working on the same file.
You can however lock a file in the repository using svn lock. This will prevent anyone else committing changes to the file until you unlock it. I think this is primarily designed for e.g. binary files where merging just can't work. The downside is that if you forget to unlock it, then no-one else can work on that file. I've never used the locking facilities. For plplot it has usually not been necessary. To my mind communication is better. Warn people on the list if you are working on something and don't want anyone else updating the files. The capability is there though if you need it. (I assume sf support this - I've not checked).
