Bug: Busy files on Windows screws up Git

#1

Unfortunately I don’t have a reproducible test case but very often when I am using sublime as my editor for git commit and such, a git operation will fail with a permission error which if I recall, is because the file is open for exclusive access elsewhere.

This often happens during an interactive rebase which is incredibly annoying because I have to cancel the rebase and try again.

I believe the problem is related to Sublime’s scanning of files that are in the tree on the left side.

I think this is a known issue. See: Bug: Sublime holds lock on file even after file is saved and closed

Seems to be working better in the newest build (which I paid for).

For future reference: we added a workaround in build 3193 for what we believe may be a shortcoming in Git for Windows. See Bug: Sublime holds lock on file even after file is saved and closed for more info.
