Thanks, this works! Normally, for /usr/src (and partially
for /usr/ports) read only access is enough, I see no need for locking
at all, in any case, first action is 'svn update' from svn server (here
both read and write are necessary), followed by 'make buildworld' et all
on any nfs client device (only read is necessary). No potential
conflict here. With proper setting in /etc/make.conf, similar use case
could be achieved with /usr/ports tree... so I am glad it works.
