If you're sure no other hg process is writing to the repo, you can
remove both .hg/wlock and .hg/store/lock.

Hmm...  you may want to run hg verify after that, just in case.  If you
zipped the repo while the locks were still around it's possible that
somebody was modifying the repo and you zipped only part of those
modifications.

Yes.
