As an experiment, I've locked branches/release while I build a new release candidate.
One problem: It took just one minute shy of two hours to apply the lock. That's no fun. Presumably it will take another two hours to unlock it. As an aside, I wonder how long the equivalent operation would have taken with Git?
I am a Bazaar user, not a Git user, so pardon my ignorance: is there even an equivalent operation for Git? I would think that one would just use a local branch and thus be oblivious to any further changes committed, except when pulling from the remote release branch intentionally.
You're right, there is no such operation, the distributed architecture makes it unnecessary. -t
