Hi,

I think we probably want to add a pre_transform and post_transform
hook to MutableTree.  You could hook into the second one and change
the files from there.  If you would like to try adding this, you can
probably do it fairly easily by looking at how other hooks are
inserted and tested, and we will mentor you through getting a patch
in.

It might technically work to use LockReleased but that would be a bit dodgy.
