Build Identifier: M20100211-1343 I am trying to delete a file, but I am getting told that the .git/index file cannot be locked. I am running on Windows XP, using EGit 0.9.3. Message: Error updating cache during move/delete.The resource cannot be moved, renamed or deleted due to an internal error.

BootLoader constants: OS=win32, ARCH=x86, WS=win32, NL=en_US Framework arguments: -refresh eai -plugincustomization C:\xxxxxx\xxxx-global-eclipse-prefs.ini -showlocation Command-line arguments: -os win32 -ws win32 -arch x86 -refresh eai -plugincustomization C:\xxxxxx\xxxx-global-eclipse-prefs.ini -showlocation I am not sure what the cause is. In the .git folder there is both an index and index.lock file (amongst others) and neither are locked and I have ownership permissions on both. I have only ever used this cloned git repository via EGit. This repository was cloned using EGit. Should also note that this breaks commits: org.eclipse.team.core.TeamException: Committing changes at org.eclipse.egit.core.op.CommitOperation$1.run(CommitOperation.java:181) at org.eclipse.core.internal.resources.Workspace.run(Workspace.java:1800) at org.eclipse.core.internal.resources.Workspace.run(Workspace.java:1782) at org.eclipse.egit.core.op.CommitOperation.execute(CommitOperation.java:192) at org.eclipse.egit.ui.internal.actions.CommitActionHandler$1.run(CommitActionHandler.java:187) at org.eclipse.core.internal.jobs.Worker.run(Worker.java:55) Caused by: java.io.IOException: Index file is in use at org.eclipse.jgit.lib.GitIndex.write(GitIndex.java:272) at org.eclipse.egit.core.op.CommitOperation.doCommits(CommitOperation.java:295) at org.eclipse.egit.core.op.CommitOperation.access$8(CommitOperation.java:281) at org.eclipse.egit.core.op.CommitOperation$1.run(CommitOperation.java:178) ... 5 more I have quit and restarted Eclipse to see if this changes anything, but it does not seem to. This is currently acting as a blocker to me checking anything in. I could probably forcefully delete the index.lock file, but I am hesitant to do so. Reproducible: Always
i took a chance and deleting the index.lock file seem to have resolved the issue for now. Not sure why it had not been cleaned up, if it was no longer used?
