How would you know a file is edited since a user doesn't have to
checkout a file before editing it?

You could have a post-commit hook that would notify you if someone is
committing a particular file, but that's about all you can do.

As mentioned before, you could put a lock on the file, then have a
lock hook that will email you when someone locks the file for editing.

Is there anything in Subversion that is similar to CVS "watches" which
basically allows
someone to be notified when another user begins editing a particular file?

Thanks,
