No news, and I have had to switch back to subversion, as you have. The
bzr developers were happy to help resovlve the issue if they knew how
to create locks on AFP volumes. I did a bit of searching, but nothing
came up. If you know any of the relevant APIs (or pointers to same),
I'd be happy to get that info to the bzr guys.
