user: use h.person(obj.user) instead of h.person(obj.user.username) - don't fail if user is None
h.person prefer a user object anyway - just pass it obj.user and make sure
h.person doesn't crash on getting a None user.

.. _locking: =================================== Kallithea repository locking system =================================== | Repos with **locking function=disabled** is the default, that's how repos work today. | Repos with **locking function=enabled** behaves like follows: Repos have a state called `locked` that can be true or false. The hg/git commands `hg/git clone`, `hg/git pull`, and `hg/git push` influence this state: - The command `hg/git pull <repo>` will lock that repo (locked=true) if the user has write/admin permissions on this repo - The command `hg/git clone <repo>` will lock that repo (locked=true) if the user has write/admin permissions on this repo Kallithea will remember the user id who locked the repo only this specific user can unlock the repo (locked=false) by calling - `hg/git push <repo>` every other command on that repo from this user and every command from any other user will result in http return code 423 (locked) additionally the http error includes the <user> that locked the repo (e.g. “repository <repo> locked by user <user>”) So the scenario of use for repos with `locking function` enabled is that every initial clone and every pull gives users (with write permission) the exclusive right to do a push. Each repo can be manually unlocked by admin from the repo settings menu.
