As a further note, there can be lots of read locks on a directory at the
same time, but only one write lock (and there can't be any read locks
when there's a write lock). Which means that lots of people can be
reading the same directory at the same time without interfering with
each other (until there are lots and lots and lots of them such that
contention for the master lock that allows you to create other locks
becomes a problem), but lots of people reading will make it almost
impossible to write to that directory (the current locking scheme
doesn't prevent people from getting new read locks when there's someone
waiting for a write lock, so you may have to wait a very long time).
