The way commit currently works is that it locks *all* of the directories
that are going to be committed and runs the commitinfo script for each
directory.  If none of the commitinfo scipts veto the commit, then it
goes ahead and, for each directory, does the commit and invokes the
loginfo script.  When the entire commit is complete, it unlocks all of
the directories.  While it would be possible to unlock each directory as
it's committed, it would be much more complicated and there doesn't seem
to be any real benefit.
