\\wsl$ filesystem does not support file locking #4689

Description

Trying to use SVN from Windows on the \wsl$ drive (in WSL2 mode), svn reports the following:

svn: E200033: Another process is blocking the working copy database, or the underlying filesystem does not support file locking; if the working copy is on a network filesystem, make sure file locking has been enabled on the file server
svn: E200033: sqlite[S5]: database is locked, executing statement 'PRAGMA case_sensitive_like=1;PRAGMA synchronous=OFF;PRAGMA recursive_triggers=ON;PRAGMA foreign_keys=OFF;PRAGMA locking_mode = NORMAL;PRAGMA journal_mode = TRUNCATE;'

I assume the problem is that the "underlying filesystem does not support file locking" - is this assumption correct, and is there a way to address this?
