Should we implement a model where, for normal operation, we do

int rc, fd;
fd = open("/path/to/repo/format", O_RDONLY);
if (fd < 0) error("disaster!");
rc = flock(fd, LOCK_SH | LOCK_NB);
if (rc == EWOULDBLOCK) {
        error("repository being recovered right now!");
}
if (rc < 0) {
        error("disaster!");
}

and for recovery, we do

int rc, fd;
fd = open("/path/to/repo/format", O_RDONLY);
if (fd < 0) error("disaster!");
rc = flock(fd, LOCK_EX | LOCK_NB);
if (rc == EWOULDBLOCK) {
        error("repository still in use!");
}
if (rc < 0) {
        error("disaster!");
}
