Nopeinger <sebastian.englbre...@kabelmail.de> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|UNCONFIRMED |CONFIRMED Ever confirmed|0 |1 CC| |sebastian.englbrecht@kabelm | |ail.de --- Comment #2 from Nopeinger <sebastian.englbre...@kabelmail.de> --- I can reproduce the generation of a lockfile but it gets destroyed instantly. After looking into the code of the plugin, I think the lockfile gets created while searching for the stati of the files, see: https://github.com/KDE/dolphin-plugins/blob/d69ced47023c52078854e96bcdfa6ec3675251ec/git/fileviewgitplugin.cpp#L176 The git status command generates a lockfile automatically. So in a way, by changing the folder you "manually" perform a git operation (unconsciously). git status is locking because it is caching the status in the repository. It cannot be disabled in git. We could try to use the workaround number 2 of https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27706108/git-do-not-create-index-lock-for-read-only-operations -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
