Re: Locking: Implementation Considerations

So in summary...

It is your opinion that the versioning work provides all of the (current)
benefits of locking (presumably with a merge phase), but it is hard to implement
so you offer the option of adding ssraat.

Did I get that right?

You mention a scenario where ssraat is used in combination with versioning.
That suggests that you feel locking provides something that versioning
doesn't....  is that the case?

 (And thus he adroitly dodges the request to denigrate
the versioning work :-).
</GC>
Cheater! :-)   I think you or someone will have to answer this if we're to
consider versioning to be a partial or true alternative to locking.  Otherwise,
we'll just have to evaluate your proposals to remove depthlock and null lock on
each of their own merits.
