   /**
    * Determine if the editor should hold a read lock on the object while
    * applying a transaction.
    *
    * If the editor does not hold a lock, two editors may read an object at the
    * same time, then apply their changes without any synchronization. For most
    * transactions, this does not matter much. However, it is important for some
    * transactions. For example, if an object has a transaction count on it, both
    * editors may read the object with `count = 23`, then independently update it
    * and save the object with `count = 24` twice. This will produce the wrong
    * state: the object really has 25 transactions, but the count is only 24.
    *
    * Generally, transactions fall into one of four buckets:
    *
    *   - Append operations: Actions like adding a comment to an object purely
    *     add information to its state, and do not depend on the current object
    *     state in any way. These transactions never need to hold locks.
    *   - Overwrite operations: Actions like changing the title or description
    *     of an object replace the current value with a new value, so the end
    *     state is consistent without a lock. We currently do not lock these
    *     transactions, although we may in the future.
    *   - Edge operations: Edge and subscription operations have internal
    *     synchronization which limits the damage race conditions can cause.
    *     We do not currently lock these transactions, although we may in the
    *     future.
    *   - Update operations: Actions like incrementing a count on an object.
    *     These operations generally should use locks, unless it is not
    *     important that the state remain consistent in the presence of races.
    *
    * @param   PhabricatorLiskDAO  Object being updated.
    * @param   PhabricatorApplicationTransaction Transaction being applied.
