I thought about it, but we've got a software lock that prevents such a collision, and it seems to work pretty good: we've never had lock problems in any other cases, and in this case the problem also seems to be quite rare - it is experienced only by a few of users, although rather frequently. Moreover, there are no parallel Git activities in this case anyway, only git add followed by git commit. Btw, lock-conflicting errors are usually reported by Git as fatal: Unable to create 'project_path/.git/index.lock': File exists. > > On Tue, Mar 27, 2012 at 11:35:08AM +0400, Kirill Likhodedov wrote: >> >> Reposting, since there were no replies - probably, the message was missed. >> I would appreciate help in understanding what the Git error could be cause by. >> Thanks! >> >> ------- >> >> Hello, >> >> I'm developing a Git integration with an IDE.
