Optional explicit edit command

The default is for each branch to have an editable working copy, which
6
can be modified and committed. However, in some cases (following RCS
7
and BK) people might prefer to have either a read-only working copy,
12
- Branches which are never edited don't need it; removing it saves
13
some time and space. In particular this applies to branches on a
14
server which are meant to be branched from or committed too, not
17
- Files for which there is no working copy or a read-only copy are
18
known not to be edited, and this can make some operations such as
19
diffing a bit simpler.
21
Since this is mostly an optimization and requires user knowledge it
22
perhaps should not be added. Certainly not yet.
