It is, IMHO, the only viable design for a system that requires strict
locking by default. The potential problem you describe above doesn't
happen in real life because the CC client tools will wrap a file add in
a directory lock/unlock by themselves -- again by default. If you intend
to seriously rearrange the directory tree, you can still lock the
relevant directories explicitly.
