The existing locking system assumes that everything underneath is 
working and everything is allowed to run to normal completion.  In the 
event of temporary failures such as network outages or power 
interruptions, or even if the user types ctrl-C, you see partial 
commits recorded in the repository after the customary clean-up of the 
locks.
