Now suppose my relay has some downtime. That's fine --- I can still
maintain the mirror by running the same commands on another machine.
But when the old relay comes back up, "push --lockref" will fail and
"pu" and "next" in my mirror are not updated any more.
That is why I said that --force is more appropriate than --lockref
for this application.
Sure.
