I guess git uses It's because "foo.lock" is usually a temporary file to prepare things before we do an atomic update to "foo". And the "refs guys" were just being careful when they designed reference names so they reject any reference names that end with .lock. You can try to create a branch named something.lock, it will not go through. This is actually documented in "git help check-ref-format". > the postfix internally, but why can't it be okay with "name.lock.lock") Uh oh I miss this case. I only delete ".lock" once, "name.lock" would still be rejected. Thanks for noticing. -- Duy
