Hi Martin,
Something is not clear to me after reading the page mentioned above. If
you have a central repo with already existing cloned work repos, do you
have to reclone them after executing "hg init-lock" on the central repo
? Do you have to do anything else to have them pick up the locking
config from the central repo ?
