Mercurial stuck “waiting for lock”

Question

Got a bluescreen in windows while cloning a mercurial repository.

After reboot, I now get this message for almost all hg commands:

c:\\src\\>hg commit
wai         


        

Answer 1

I had the same problem. Got the following message when I tried to commit:

waiting for lock on working directory of  held by '...'

hg debuglock showed this:

lock:  free
wlock:  (66722s)

So I did the following command, and that fixed the problem for me:

hg debuglocks -W

Using Win7 and TortoiseHg 4.8.7.
