Am I the only one that would like to see some kind of locking support in the API? So if you have multiple clients working against the same file it could take out a lock for x minutes and the other client could query to see if a file is locked. Useful for synchronization between clients..


We really need this in the API. We do our own version of this that is hacky and error prone but it's all we have right now. I was a bit amazed initially that this didn't already exist.
