From d7514f6ed57d20bcc9dcfb43016b95dba82ba790 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Derrick Stolee Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2020 18:11:48 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] maintenance: take a lock on the objects directory Performing maintenance on a Git repository involves writing data to the .git directory, which is not safe to do with multiple writers attempting the same operation. Ensure that only one 'git maintenance' process is running at a time by holding a file-based lock. Simply the presence of the .git/maintenance.lock file will prevent future maintenance. This lock is never committed, since it does not represent meaningful data. Instead, it is only a placeholder. If the lock file already exists, then no maintenance tasks are attempted. This will become very important later when we implement the 'prefetch' task, as this is our stop-gap from creating a recursive process loop between 'git fetch' and 'git maintenance run --auto'.
