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. Signed-off-by: Simão Afonso <simao.afonso@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- 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.
