I seriously hate your use case. The locked file is the most troublesome thing that seems to negatively impact everyone using these systems so one person can, once in a while, ensure no conflicts happen. A better solution would be smart merging. Just look at source control to see how half-assed locking is as a solution to this problem.

- rhizome 15y agoI think this sentiment is reason enough to always leverage source-code control for something like this. They've been working on the problem for an ultra-long time in computer terms, so adapting one's use cases to the capabilities of existing foundational components is probably the quickest way to long-term happiness in the revisable storage world.
