Have to correct myself: can be done in a way that is scalable. But perhaps the biggest issue with all schemes that lock directories is that it is hard to figure out which directories are really locked (could use properties, or some file somewhere that lists locked dirs). Someone new to the project that browses the repository with a web browser would not be able to figure that out. -- Heikki Toivonen
