Depends on what one understands at "locking hundreds of files at the
same time". A (WebDAV)-LOCK with depth infinity creates one single lock
that protects a whole URI namespace. However, it's still *one* lock,
that is if you LOCK "a" containing "a/b" and "a/c", you can't remove the
lock from "a/c" without removing the lock from all other protected URIs
as well.
