I'm uncertain if the keep files should be sticking around for so long,
commit b8077709 makes it sounds like they are shorted lived lock
files. In the case I have the keep file contains:

fetch-pack 20810 on bertha1

But, I don't see anything in fetch-pack to erase the keep file.. In
any event making the file the same permissions as everything else
can't hurt.

Last night I was going through old mail-logs and found this , which I
think is still needed.  Does anybody see anything wrong with them?
