The issues are the same for FSFS-backed repositories and for 1.7+
working copies, since both of them use SQLite. (In 1.7 FSFS the sqlite
db's are non-authoritative.) However you mentioned CIFS-mounted working
copies, in which case the issue will be concurrent access not to the
repository but to the working copy.
