I'd like to do dumps of the locks the same way i do it for the revisions
in my repos in a post-commit hook.
If I understood that right, a lock/unlock is not a commit and the commit
hooks don't get called.
So it would be nice to have dumplocks/loadlocks commands which I could use
in post-lock/post-unlock hooks for backuping the locks.
