are in this category and the WC-NG work tries to redesign several of these
operation to the first class of operations.
+Lock Overlapping
+----------------
+As in wc-1, locks may not overlap. For instance, a process which acquires
+a depth-infinity lock for /A/B will encounter an error if it attemps to
+later acquire a lock for /A/B/C, even though it already owns the logical
+lock for that path. In this way wc-ng can ensure the explicit lock for a
+given logical lock is stored in one location. This location will be the
+first lock encountered on a recursive crawl up the working copy tree.
