Wrong names.  Better use "modified" than "unlocked".
CVS, SVN, Arch, MetaCVS are supported by VC but do not use locking.
Only RCS and SCCS use locking and even the VC support in RCS tries to
support a non-locking mode.  Nowadays locking is the exception rather than
the rule, at least in the free software world.
