+1 I liberally lock down the gate to do investigations that might result in an undo, and that needs to happen instantaneously -- to the point where I wrote a script to do it, rather than having to edit the access control file. So yes, the lack of immediate access to repository control is a showstopper. It'd be nice if such changes didn't introduce a changeset into the gate, too, but that's just a really annoying bug, not a showstopper.
