Subject: populate-sparsely.sh: explain why the script exits if there is no lock
X-Git-Url: https://git.ao2.it/config/vcsh.git/commitdiff_plain/6f9082f6cf2b819ed8d1f9b7da825e546d3d8b4a?hp=c6461aa97fe3711c2055721aa37d8b0d19579f49

populate-sparsely.sh: explain why the script exits if there is no lock

The reason why the script exits if there is no lock was given in the
commit message when the check was added, but reading the code after some
time I could not remember it, so just put the explanation in a comment
to make the life easier for the reader.
