As an experiment, I've locked branches/release while I build a new
release candidate.

One problem: It took just one minute shy of two hours to apply the
lock. That's no fun. Presumably it will take another two hours to
unlock it. As an aside, I wonder how long the equivalent operation
would have taken with Git?
