In-Memory Commit Plan
Contents
1. The (Overall) Problem
There should be a lightweight way to transparently sync working copies across repositories in the background. This document covers one part of a proposed implementation.
1.1. Why would you even want to sync working copies?
Imagine that you're working in a local repository and have local changes. At many organizations, to test your changes you would need to sync the contents over to a remote server to e.g. test by sending a small amount of production traffic.

That requires that the repository store lock be taken, and
