[darcs-devel] [issue825] does pushing require write access to the local repo?

[Zooko]

New submission from Zooko <zooko at zooko.com>:

The Operations / SysAdmin guy that I work with, Zandr, reported that a darcs
push failed because he didn't have write access to create the lock file.  This
is understandable, and apparently the error message was clear enough, but this
later caused me to wonder -- why does darcs push require a lock in the source repo?

And for that matter, why does it require write access to anything in the source
repo?
