I don't like this, I prefer letters, see below.

Why use two columns? Just use one column:

  'K' locked in wc and repository
  'B' locked in wc but 'Broken' so not locked in repository
  'T' locked in wc but 'sTolen' so some other token in repository

If you really want to use two colums I'd prefer something like:

   K K for locked
   K B for broken
   K T for stolen

Now update can print 'B' when it removes a lock. It could even print
'T' if knows the lock has been stolen, does update have that info?
