Tell that to the gaming companies.  They use version control,
and their repositories contain large numbers of very large
binary files (images).  The absence of locks in the DVCS world
is the main reason they can't really consider getting off
Perforce.

The ONLY reason Veracity has locks is for this use case.

    Whether to support locks... I think it can help some users, but I
    don't have use
    cases in my day to day.


My 0.02€:  in some 16 years of using source control, i have never once
had a use for (and sometimes been hindered by) locks. IMO anyone who
_thinks_ they need them is still living in the 1980's or early 1990's.
