+Bugfix: Correct `--no-lock` handling of `ls` and `tag` command
+
+The `ls` command never locked the repository. This has been fixed. The old
+behavior is still supported using `ls --no-lock`. The latter invocation also
+works with older restic versions.
+
+The `tag` command erroneously accepted the `--no-lock` command. The command
+now always requires an exclusive lock.
