Unless I've misunderstood what you're saying, the answer is that this is
not how Subversion works traditionally.
One checks out new source code locally (svn co), updates that source
code locally whenever someone else has changed it (svn update), and
modifies it without "reserving" it in any way whereupon one commits any
changes made (svn commit). If someone has in the meantime edited and
committed the same file, one must merge changes with what was committed.
Since Subversion 1.2, it has been possible to set an "svn:needs-lock"
property on a given file to restrict it from being edited (and it gets
checked out read-only). Then, you can (must) use svn lock, made edits
and finally commit the file.
I don't know that Subclipse supports this functionality, not having used
it myself.
I hope this reponse has not been a total waste of your time. There is a
specific Eclipse tools subversive forum in which you could ask this
question even though subclipse and subversive are not the same time, but
that forum is full of (much more) knowledgeable respondants (than I).
