vamseeachanta Multi-Repo Stale Lock Recovery
When bulk operations fail across multiple repos with .git/index.lock errors, check for stale crashes from background processes (especially with submodules). Use lsof to verify no git process is actually running, then safely remove the lock file and retry. If the lock reappears immediately after cleanup, a background process may still be running — wait briefly and monitor with ps before retrying. In submodule-heavy workspaces, lock files in one repo can reference another's submodule path.
