We use the persistent locks when accessing branch and repository
objects over FTP and SFTP, and we need, for correctness, to exclude
FTP and SFTP writers when you are doing a local operation: if they
didn't share locks, Bad Things would trivially happen.
Its because these locks are exposed in such a way that SFTP and FTP
access can take and release them that they persist.
I do agree that an automatic-break when:
- the lock was obtained by this machine
- the machine's uptime is less than the age of the lock
might be nice.
