Well, in some sense, that's still a "locks report", it's just part of
a larger report. Much like the way 'svn st -u' shows locks. I'm glad
TSVN has this.

Yeah, but then that sort of goes against our locking design. We want
users to be aware of "local" vs. "remote". Browsing the working copy
is different from browsing the repository... that's why TSVN has a
repository browser. In that same vein, if Explorer shows any locking
information at all, it should be showing *local lock tokens*, which is
a distinctly different thing than a remote repository lock. We want
users to understand the difference.
