It would seem like the locking issue is occurring for the creation of work-trees - using the latest release - Git-2.16.0.2-64-bit.exe.
When trying to perform the 'add' (/creation) of a new 'worktree', it creates the files (& folder) successfully, but for the files it complains that it can't 'stat' the them & for the (first) folder it can't 'unlink' it (- and exits upon the first folder failure, it seems to continue for the errors upon files). I've reverted back to this version - 'Git-2.15.1.2-64-bit.exe', taken from the 'release' - https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases, and it works fine (at least for creating worktrees). (My machine is a x64 1709/'Anniversary Update' install of Windows 10 Pro.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
