[Zope] Version Lock Confusion

[Eron Lloyd]

Hi Dan,

It may be because the container or a higher up object is locked. You cannot 
remove objects from a container that has changes stored in a version, even if 
it isn't active. For example, if you add a property to the root folder while 
in a version, then leave the version, you won't be able to delete any 
subobjects in the entire site until you submit or discard the changes. I'm 
not sure exactly where this is explained, but that's the way it currently 
behaves.

HTH,

Eron
