Bug Description
LockContention gives you this:
bzr: ERROR: Could not acquire lock "(remote lock)"
Which is unhelpful. It should say the lock is held.
Also it could possibly suggest break-lock.
Thanks,
James

I think LockContention can also occur when there are permission issues.
It just depends on the specific case. But certainly when it is a lock already held, it should be reported as such to the user.
