That's an idea. But we would also need the branch, wouldn't we? Or does the
tag follow the branch?

That sounds reasonably simple to implement and is probably flexible enough
to handle most cases (where people have either a few binary files of
different types or large collections which all match a wildcard or two).

Can we do read-only cross-platform (i.e. Windows)?

But the needs-lock tag also has the sync problem - the tag would need to be
in place before the checkout. And update would be more complicated because
fossil would have to temporarily overwrite (and potentially revert) the
permissions in order to perform an update. Hmmm.
