How many times do you update your working copy?
If we would do that, then the information 'file locked' would be out of
date pretty soon. Worse, the information would be inaccurate and most of
the time wrong, because you wouldn't see new locks since you've udpated.
And showing inaccurate information is the worst, it's worse than showing
no information at all.
