I'd probably wait until the VCR becomes completely write-lock free.
But one could make a reasonable argument either way.
Note: I've never been a fan of shared locks, so whatever you want to do 
there is fine with me (:-).

Cheers,
Geoff

&gt; &gt;The VCR should auto-checkin when all write locks have been removed.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Do you mean all write locks present in the request that caused the<br>
&gt; auto-checkout? Or should we wait till the VCR becomes completely<br>
&gt; write-lock free (i.e, till all shared write locks of other users are<br>
&gt; also removed )? &nbsp;I would think that a new version of a resource
is<br>
&gt; ready when all the members who are collaborating on work on that<br>
&gt; resource are done and remove their shared lock. Unless this technique<br>
&gt; is meant to be used as a backup mechanism for individual changes made<br>
