day job has the misfortune of being a PVCS shop; nothing but locking.

it can be remarkably irritating when the developer who has some key
file locked is MIA and there's something critical to be done Right This
Minute. the day job's version control is managed by another group
on another floor, and it takes an act of god (or senior management)
to get the locks broken.

count this as one vote against locking,
