Yes in general I agree with that Stefan. 

We have some special case files that are owned by only one master 
developer. They are not in a standard computer language but one that we use 
a specially configured Beyond Compare to find our diffs with.

Others can make changes but they do it in their own branches. The 
master developer then merges those changes and commits them in the trunk. 

The reason we are putting locks on them now is we have been used to 
everyone touching the trunk. This helps remind them to stay in their 
branches. 

The SVN config work around that Kalen mentioned works just fine and I don't 
see any need to modify tortoise for this feature.
