Under the usual branch

https://git.samba.org/?p=vl/samba.git/.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/tdb

Now find a patchset that survived autobuild for me. It
contains some additional stuff, like a tdb feature flags
field. This could for example take a flag for a dual-linked
freelist and other future improvements.

This is something that I would like to see broader testing
and review of. Getting rid of the fcntl locks in tdb was
something I have wanted to do for a very long time, and
while this is not complete it is a start in that direction.

With best regards,
