I imagine this would only happen with any frequency if we made it easy
to get a recursive lock.
But it seems more likely that the need wouldn't arise much at all.
Until Branko said he had an interest in locking release branches (which
I don't understand as of yet), I had seen zero requests for the ability
to lock whole trees of files. Unless you plan to make unmergeable
changes to a whole tree of files (in which case you're going to use lots
of server resources making a big commit anyway, and the locking overhead
will only be commensurate with that cost), why would you want to lock
all of them?
