Git polling: could not lock config file .git/config: File exists

[Dunnigan, Terrence J]

I’ve seen this error more than a few times on some of my machines:

 

Has anyone else seen this?

 

Jenkins 1.554.3, Git plugin 2.2.9, Git client plugin 1.12.0

Windows 7 Slave connected as a service

Git 1.9.5.msysgit.1 running on the slave

There are a few bug reports which might give you hints of things to try.  The bug reports do not mention your specific case ("File exists"), but the ideas may help you explore the problem further.

https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-21914 - matches your error message, but I can't duplicate it

https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-21376 - different error message, but related to lock file

https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-24179 - different error message

https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-25353 - lingering lock file (not likely related to this one)
