Trouble with Lock File

Open danielkwalsh opened this issue 9 months ago • 0 comments

I'm getting the following error: fatal: cannot lock ref <REF>: Unable to create <ROOT>/.git/refs/heads/<BRANCH>.lock: File exists. Researching the problem online, it seems this error can occur if there's another git process working on the files concurrently, which can create another lock file. However, after receiving the error, I checked <ROOT>/.git/refs/heads/<BRANCH>.lock, and there was no such file. Any thoughts?
