Been there, done that. Turns out that it is indeed relatively simple to
protect against modification of files, but catching new files is hard
enough so that you can't just recite the answer to that. And thus doing

  svn cp .../trunk .../tags/rel-1.0

twice by accident has a very interesting effect.

    (Basically, you end up in weird situations
    by accident and then need to find a way out;
    just like hitting ^S by accident and not knowing
    about it, wondering why you computer froze.)
