Explain subtlety in nbtree locking protocol.
Peter Geoghegan <pg@bowt.ie>
Explain subtlety in nbtree locking protocol. The Postgres approach to coupling locks during an ascent of the tree is slightly different to the approach taken by Lehman and Yao. Add a new paragraph to the "Differences to the Lehman & Yao algorithm" section of the nbtree README that explains the similarities and differences.
