git .lock file error

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi everyone,

I'm trying to switch to git, so I apologize in advance for my
ignorance. For this, I'm using cygwin git, version 1.7.1 to talk to a
svn server running 1.4.2.

When I 'git svn clone' or 'git svn clone; git svn fetch', I sometimes
run into the following error.
> Couldn't open .git/svn/refs/remotes/0.0.0/.rev_map.b8cad480-e46b-48b4-8317-a683ee46c2bd.lock: Device or resource busy
>  at /usr/lib/git-core/git-svn line 5210

And when I 'git svn rebase'
> Couldn't open .git/svn/refs/remotes/git-svn/.rev_map.cc05479a-e8ea-436f-8d71-e07493b7796c.lock: Device or resource busy
> at /usr/lib/git-core/git-svn line 1528

Sometimes the line number is different (578, I think?), but when I
retry the fetch command, it rebuilds the file corresponding to the
lockfile, and then continues a little farther before dying again.

When I watch the directory in question, I see the lock file appear,
and then disappearing a short time after the script gives up.

I don't have a series of steps to reproduce the problem, sometimes it
goes for an hour, and sometimes for just a few minutes/seconds.

I do have TortoiseGit running my machine, but this issue happens even
when TGitCache.exe is not running. If some other instance of git is
accessing the repository, I don't know which or how.

Thanks,
-Nate
