+I've just added annex.pidlock to git-annex. Configure that to true, and it
+will use one top-level pid lock file, rather than these posix locks. Might
+work better on NFS.
+
+annex.pidlock is enabled automatically if probing detects that posix locks
+cannot be made at all. However, if the NFS lets posix locks be made, just
+with the poor behavior described here, the probing can't detect that and so
+you'd need to enable it manually.
