less: change markup and styling for the logo shown in the top left corner Based on work by Dominik Ruf, but in this changeset, the goal is just to improve markup and styling while keeping exactly the same look and feel. In that process, it also fixes some browser specific issues that gave odd spacing/positioning. All styling (especially the logo image URL) is moved to CSS/LESS, using background-image styling instead of an img tag. The logo image is made a :before on the site branding text and will usually have to align with this text, so we use inline-block to align to the baseline. We set the right amount of negative margin-bottom so the image can go below the baseline. We use a "big enough" negative margin-top to allow the image to bleed outside the line height and into the 12px top padding. We assume the background image doesn't need cropping or panning and do thus not set background-size, background-position, or background-repeat.

==================
Repository locking
==================

Kallithea has a *repository locking* feature, disabled by default. When
enabled, every initial clone and every pull gives users (with write permission)
the exclusive right to do a push.

When repository locking is enabled, repositories get a ``locked`` flag.
The hg/git commands ``hg/git clone``, ``hg/git pull``,
and ``hg/git push`` influence this state:

- A ``clone`` or ``pull`` action locks the target repository
  if the user has write/admin permissions on this repository.

- Kallithea will remember the user who locked the repository so only this
  specific user can unlock the repo by performing a ``push``
  command.

- Every other command on a locked repository from this user and every command
  from any other user will result in an HTTP return code 423 (Locked).
  Additionally, the HTTP error will mention the user that locked the repository
  (e.g., “repository <repo> locked by user <user>”).

Each repository can be manually unlocked by an administrator from the
repository settings menu.
