* adb could use some shell trick perhaps.. But it would depend on doing
locking in /sdcard, which seems likely to be a massive ball of POSIX
incompliance and pain.

I was thinking about something related to this recently. Dropping currently
guaranteeds numcopies will be maintained for remotes that support
lockContent. But when some of the copies are on special remotes, this
is not guaranteed. It only makes sure lockContent is keeping one copy
locked, and can verify the existence of the other copies less stringently.
So perhaps it would be good to make this explicit in the configuration,
by adding a requirednumcopies. (Analagous to required content configs.)
Defaulting to 1 as now, but if the user wants to they can set it higher,
perhaps as high as their numcopies (or even just set it to 1000 and make
it be treated the same value as numcopies when it's >= numcopies.)
