title: Achieving svn lock on entire branch using 'svn lock' sort of a command
body: <p>Is there a way to lock entire branch with svn lock command ?. </p>
  
  <p>Locking files/directories individually doesnot help. And I want to achieve without modifying server side 'authz'.</p>
  
  <p>Let me know, if anybody knows such an options exists.</p>
  
  <p>Related Q is here: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4064229/svn-lock-branch/13491857#13491857">svn lock branch</a></p>
  
  <p>My trial way:</p>
  
  <p>svn lock http://{Repo-path}/branch_name</p>
  
  <p>Resulted in :</p>
  
  <p>svn: E160017: '/branch_name' is not a file in filesystem</p>
