It is possible to wait on a lock file but I'd be worried about building up

Side question: we can't use flock(2) in git, or lockf(3) ? The latter is
in POSIX.
We need something cross-platform, I don't think there is any appetite to
move away from our current lock file implementation. We can think about
how to handle concurrent maintenance jobs once these patches are merged.
