2006-04-21 11:01:37 Martin Pool bzr: statusexplanation This should be fixed for metadir or knit repositories created with bzr 0.8 & later - they use lockdirs, not os locks. Thanks for the report.

2009-01-09 06:20:40 Martin Pool bzr: statusexplanation This should be fixed for metadir or knit repositories created with bzr 0.8 & later - they use lockdirs, not os locks. Thanks for the report. As John says, we've always needed file locks on dirstate files, so while the original version of this bug was fixed, a different occurrence remains open. Since several people have reported this I'm assuming that SMB on Mac OS X doesn't support file locking by default, or at least not in a common configuration. However, samba, SMB/CIFS, and OS X do all support file locks, so it seems like it should be possible to find some workaround that will let bzr dirstate working trees function there.
