Hey Tony, I noticed that lock.cpp do_lock_server() has a hardcoded sleep time of 1 second and hardcoded retry count of 20, which means that any command will only wait at most 20 seconds when trying to grab a lock. We have a few very large (100MB to 150MB) files in our repository and checking these files in or out can take upto 7 or 8 minutes. If someone is attempting to do an rtag at the same time as anyone else is working with those files, the rtag aborts because it can't grab the lock. I know that older versions used a 15 second retry interval and a very large retry count, which worked well in our case. I can change the code myself and build myself, but this seems like it will affect a lot of people. I'm going to set my copy to sleep(10) and have a maximum retry count of 200. Ideally this would be some kind of configuration option instead of hardcoded. Any thoughts around changing this for an upcoming release? Thanks, Bill.
