2010-11-09 14:44:59 Paul Sladen description bzr diff/bzr status do not work during a bzr commit, complaining of not being able to lock: bzr: ERROR: Could not acquire lock ".../.bzr/checkout/dirstate": [Errno 11] Resource temporarily unavailable My Git workflow is to do a commit and ^Z from the editor flowed by "git diff" to confirm/double-check what changes and status I am writing my commit log against. I can see no requirement or need to lock when doing read-only querying of the database. Ideally bzr should allow non-invasion commands to be run without the need to gain a lockfile. bzr diff/bzr status do not work during a bzr commit, complaining of not being able to lock:   bzr: ERROR: Could not acquire lock ".../.bzr/checkout/dirstate": [Errno 11] Resource temporarily unavailable My Git workflow is to do a commit and ^Z from the editor followed by "git diff" to confirm/double-check what changes and status I am writing my commit log against.
