This is a good solution to the problem.  Now, why can't we get HC to do the
same thing for any locked file?  Now why would I want to do that?  Well,
for one thing, I could then always get back to the original, unadulterated,
distributed version of the stack.  And even better, I would probably have a
much smaller file to backup at the end of the day.

Just a thought.
