Free BitKeeper client updated

After I published my article on how to build MySQL with the new Falcon storage engine from source, the free BitKeeper client was updated to version 2.0. I have now updated the instructions accordingly, our manual has been updated to reflect these changes, too.

However, it is currently still not possible to clone the Falcon tree with this client, some kind of obscure locking error message appears, even though the admin console on bkbits.net does not reveal any active locks in the repository:

$ bkf clone bk://mysql.bkbits.net/mysql-5.2-falcon mysql-5.2-falcon
ERROR-unable to lock repo for export, try later.
We're aware of this problem and have already contacted BitKeeper support about this. I hope it can be resolved quickly...
