/**
 * A synchronization context used to coordinate concurrent access to artifacts or metadatas. The typical usage of a
 * synchronization context looks like this:
 * 
 *  * SyncContext syncContext = repositorySystem.newSyncContext( ... );
 * try {
 *     syncContext.acquire( artifacts, metadatas );
 *     // work with the artifacts and metadatas
 * } finally {
 *     syncContext.close();
 * }
 * 
 * 
 * Within one thread, synchronization contexts may be nested which can naturally happen in a hierarchy of method calls.
 * The nested synchronization contexts may also acquire overlapping sets of artifacts/metadatas as long as the following
 * conditions are met. If the outer-most context holding a particular resource is exclusive, that resource can be
 * reacquired in any nested context. If however the outer-most context is shared, the resource may only be reacquired by
 * nested contexts if these are also shared.
 * 
 * A synchronization context is meant to be utilized by only one thread and as such is not thread-safe.
 * 
 * Note that the level of actual synchronization is subject to the implementation and might range from OS-wide to none.
 * 
 * @see RepositorySystem#newSyncContext(RepositorySystemSession, boolean)
