Re: "mysqldump --single-transaction" and "--lock-tables"

Yes, --single-transaction disables --lock-tables. From "mysqldump --help":

--single-transaction
Creates a consistent snapshot by dumping all tables in a
single transaction. Works ONLY for tables stored in
storage engines which support multiversioning (currently
only InnoDB does); the dump is NOT guaranteed to be
consistent for other storage engines. Option
automatically turns off --lock-tables.

I agree that the manual should say this explicitly too.
