-Do note that the `FetchForExclusiveWriting()` command can time out if it is unable to achieve a lock in a timely manner. In this case, Marten will throw a `StreamLockedException`. The lock will be released when either `IDocumentSession.SaveChangesAsync()` is called or the `IDocumentSession` is disposed.
+Do note that the `FetchForExclusiveWriting()` command can time out if it is unable to achieve a lock in a timely manner. In this case, Marten will throw a `StreamLockedException`. The lock will be released when either `IDocumentSession.SaveChangesAsync()` is called with any pending changes or the `IDocumentSession` is disposed. Calling `IDocumentSession.SaveChangesAsync()` without pending changes will short circuit the transaction logic keeping the lock active.
