There is a write lock, so the repo is locked when a process is writing
(commit / pull / unbundle for a local repo, push for a remote repo).
When hg is waiting for a lock, it prints the PID of the process that
locked that repo (only when the operation is local).

No, the repo is always consistent for a reader (although verify may no pass
in the middle of a push), so we are lockless for readers.
