At work we have a rather large repo with many active branches.  We are

Giving the number of active commit users, that locking feature would
have been useful if it can lock only 1 single branch, time to
stabilize it if need be.

But locking the entire repo is way too invasive and disruptive.

So I'd say drop the current repo wide locking feature unless it can
lock only 1 single or a list of branches but not the entire repo wide
like this.


Agreed, it could be a nice feature if done right. Most important, it has to allow "locking" on the client side when a file is edited ... and early notification on the client when "locked" files are modified, long time before trying to push.

Something like https://bitbucket.org/sborho/simplelock/src/default/ or https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/HgLockLEExtension or https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/LockExtension might work better than the old Kallithea locking if using Mercurial.
