This is here strictly for backward compat. The access batons still have the notion of 'levels to lock' and we need to ensure that they still function correctly, even in the new world. 'levels to lock' should not be exposed through the wc-ng APIs at all: users either get to lock the entire tree (rooted at some subdir, of course), or none. -Hyrum
