By "loader" do you mean the user, or the load process?

I've tried loading a dump, one that includes copies, and inserting
commits (of items not affected by the dump) during the load doesn't
cause any problems that I can see. All the revisions adjusted to cope
with the "extra" commits. Obviously if I were to modify an item that
is going to subsequently get modified/copied by the dump it would be
different, but that's to be expected.

If the repository administrator does take the repository off line, in
order to get exclusive access, then editing the DB_CONFIG file doesn't
seem like much of a problem to me.
