You can't tell if anyone else has a lock without contacting the
repository. But a no-entry overlay for read-only files sounds good to
me.

Petition uncle Bill to increase the limit in the next version of Windows

It has been suggested that we should collaborate with TCVS better, and
have a shared overlay provider, but no-one has come up with a good
suggestion for how that might work yet.

I think that's already in 'check for mods'.
