Title: Message Title

Tomasz Śniatowski commented on JENKINS-48258   Re: git client plugin occasionally fails with "text file busy" error We haven't seen the error since we implemented the local workaround, so that's over a month now. It looks like it has definitely helped. Unfortunately it's a shell wrapper and not really a usable patch: $ which git /usr/local/bin/git $ cat /usr/local/bin/git #!/bin/sh # Wrapper to avoid "fatal: cannot exec '/tmp/aa': Text file busy" errors when # git is called with GIT_SSH pointing to something that's still open for writing # (see https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-48258) GIT_SSH_COPY= if [ -n "$GIT_SSH" ]; then GIT_SSH_COPY="$(mktemp "${GIT_SSH}.XXXXX")" cp -a "$GIT_SSH" "$GIT_SSH_COPY" GIT_SSH="$GIT_SSH_COPY" fi /usr/bin/git "$@" RET=$? if [ -n "$GIT_SSH_COPY" ]; then rm -f "$GIT_SSH_COPY" fi exit $RET I'm not quite sure how to solve this purely in Java in the git plugin code, as my tests indicate merely creating the file on the Java side introduces a race condition that can make this issue come back. A quick hacky workaround could make this go from a 0.1% issue to a 0.001% but still something that will occasionally break. Likely a more substantial change of approach on Linux is needed, to avoid the "write file then make GIT_SSH point to it" pattern altogether.
