A thought:

A nice thing about this (and about Greg's solution -- the two seem
pretty similar) is the opportunity to provide extra information at the
time you take out the lock, and use that information at commit time.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Issue numbers, baby! :-)

So others could see not just

   "Jane is working on foo.c and bar.c"

but even:

   "Jane is working on foo.c and bar.c, to resolve issue #blah"

There might be a tight relationship between lock communications and
log message templates here. Does that match your experience with
Clearcase?
