That'd be great.

I was thinking that we could change to using lockdirs guarding the
dirstate (which would be very worthwhile for a bunch of other reasons)
and then have real trees.  I think having a thing that looks like a
working tree but can't actually be edited would be likely to lead to
confusion.
