[TSVN] Locking UI questions

Hi folks,

I am just starting a description of the locking UI for the docs, and I
have a couple of GUI queries.

1. Should 'Get lock' be followed by '...' as there is a log entry dialog
following?

2. Stealing and breaking locks seems too easy.
The option to steal a lock is offered immediately. Should it appear only
after an attempt to get a lock normally has failed, ie. Dialog stays
open and 'Steal lock' is enabled for a second attempt? I know it will
waste time if you already _know_ you need to steal a lock, but how often
does that happen? The same could apply to 'Break lock', where it only
appears in the context menu after a 'Release lock' has failed.

3. The lock status and error messages seem broken in places. I did this:

Lock Test.txt in WC1
Break lock in WC2
Check for (local) modifications in WC1 - initially correctly reports a
lock
Contact repository - incorrectly still reports a lock

Attempt to release lock in WC1 and get this error message:
  Unlock failed: Test.txt
  Error: No lock on path '/Test.txt' in filesystem 'c:/temp/Repos2/db'
  Error: If you want to break the lock, use the "Check For Modifiations"
dialog.

Line 3 (in this instance) should say something like:
  Error: The lock has already been broken from within another working
copy.

If the unlock failed because another WC holds the lock, you still want
the original message, but there should be a 'c' in 'Modifications'.
