I think that the risk at this point might be to overengineer things
and to lose time, and then we will perhaps find out that we need to do
some refactoring of the merge_recursive API anyway.

I agree with the general principle... let's see if I understand the
details of what you are saying.

It occurs to me now that you were probably talking about the
suggestion of using the lockfile API (i.e., the write temporary/rename
trick).  In that case, I agree --- no need to overengineer it and
concurrency problems can be fixed later.  Sorry for an overcomplicated
explanation.

And thanks for looking out for these things.
