Status of lfs and lock extensions

[Daniele Benegiamo]

Hi everyone,

I would like to know if there are any news (or future plans) about the 
"lfs" extension and any sort of support for a "centralized file locking" 
feature.

I know the subject is not an hot topic here, but most of our projects 
involve binary assets and we are often forced to switch to Subversion or 
working with less than ideal mixed solutions.

The crucial missing feature for us is a "centralized file locking" 
feature (https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/LockExtension). There's any 
known development on this area?
Unfortunately all referenced extensions seems to gone lost after 
Bitbucket shut-down the hosted repositories. Anyone known of backups of 
such extensions? Or if they migrated the development elsewhere?

While the "largefiles" extension is well-established, I would like to 
know if there's any update about the "lfs" extension 
(https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/LfsPlan).
The plan was to "re-use' the Git LFS protocol, and as such protocol 
supports file locking 
(https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/wiki/File-Locking), it could be an 
ideal solution for us.

Thanks!
	Daniele.
