OK, but this is a problem that no VCS can solve (because there is no reasonable way to merge separate modifications). Locking doesn't help either, in any case this requires administrative (workflow) coordination between people.

Maybe you don't understand what is meant by locking?

The advisory locking in SVN *is the implementation of* the administrative (workflow) coordination
between people.
