Well that depends, the camera app is generally accessible on locked phones, so the question is, can the camera app make use of USB-connected cameras, and if so is there any restriction on accessing such cameras in locked mode (like there is

Chrome forked from Webkit, which forked from KHTML, which apparently dates from 4th November 1998, so Chrome's base is 25 years and 7 months old tomorrow.

I mean you can't really compare them since git doesn't even _have_ branches as Mercurial understands them. git's branches would perhaps better be called twigs in comparison. git's lightweight branches better map to Merc
