[PATCH v2] crendential-store: use timeout when locking file

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

 



When holding the lock for rewriting the credential file, use a timeout
to avoid race conditions when the credentials file needs to be updated
in parallel.

An example would be doing `fetch --all` on a repository with several
remotes that need credentials, using parallel fetching.

The timeout can be configured using "credentialStore.fileTimeout",
defaulting to 1 second.

Thanks for the review.
I got stuck with work and only got around to tweak this now.

I added a configurable timeout with the old value as default. I think
that txt file is the only documentation that requires update for a new
configuration value.
