"""On-disk mutex protecting a resource

bzr on-disk objects are locked by the existence of a directory with a

particular name within the control directory.  We use this rather than OS

internal locks (such as flock etc) because they can be seen across all

transports, including http.

Objects can be read if there is only physical read access; therefore 

readers can never be required to create a lock, though they will

check whether a writer is using the lock.  Writers can't detect

whether anyone else is reading from the resource as they write.

This works because of ordering constraints that make sure readers

see a consistent view of existing data.

Waiting for a lock must be done by polling; this can be aborted after

a timeout.

Locks must always be explicitly released, typically from a try/finally

block -- they are not released from a finalizer or when Python

exits.

Locks may fail to be released if the process is abruptly terminated

(machine stop, SIGKILL) or if a remote transport becomes permanently

disconnected.  There is therefore a method to break an existing lock.

This should rarely be used, and generally only with user approval.

Locks contain some information on when the lock was taken and by who

which may guide in deciding whether it can safely be broken.  (This is

similar to the messages displayed by emacs and vim.) Note that if the

lock holder is still alive they will get no notification that the lock

has been broken and will continue their work -- so it is important to be

sure they are actually dead.

A lock is represented on disk by a directory of a particular name,

containing an information file.  Taking a lock is done by renaming a

temporary directory into place.  We use temporary directories because

for all known transports and filesystems we believe that exactly one

attempt to claim the lock will succeed and the others will fail.  (Files

won't do because some filesystems or transports only have

rename-and-overwrite, making it hard to tell who won.)

The desired characteristics are:

* Locks are not reentrant.  (That is, a client that tries to take a 

  lock it already holds may deadlock or fail.)

* Stale locks can be guessed at by a heuristic

* Lost locks can be broken by any client

* Failed lock operations leave little or no mess

* Deadlocks are avoided by having a timeout always in use, clients

  desiring indefinite waits can retry or set a silly big timeout.

Storage formats use the locks, and also need to consider concurrency

issues underneath the lock.  A format may choose not to use a lock

at all for some operations.

LockDirs always operate over a Transport.  The transport may be readonly, in

which case the lock can be queried but not acquired.

Locks are identified by a path name, relative to a base transport.

Calling code will typically want to make sure there is exactly one LockDir

object per actual lock on disk.  This module does nothing to prevent aliasing

and deadlocks will likely occur if the locks are aliased.

In the future we may add a "freshen" method which can be called

by a lock holder to check that their lock has not been broken, and to 

update the timestamp within it.

Example usage:

>>> from bzrlib.transport.memory import MemoryTransport

>>> # typically will be obtained from a BzrDir, Branch, etc

>>> t = MemoryTransport()

>>> l = LockDir(t, 'sample-lock')

>>> l.create()

>>> l.wait_lock()

>>> # do something here

>>> l.unlock()
