    which 'context' does 'the same file' imply
    when talking about locking?
-) is a lock limited to a specific repostory url,
    or does/should it include branches of a file?
-) can a file be 'copied' while locked?
    it probably should, because copying *is* tagging
    and a locked file should still be tag-able.
-) same question for renames,
    property edits, file moves, deletes, etc...
-) if a file is locked, will 'update' produce a
    local file that has the *readonly flag* set
    so an editor will discover the lock immediatedly?

.. i've read your locking-plan but found
    no answers to this yet.
