Frequent [lock fail] on origin/master [message #1757985]

Hi, recently switch to Git with Git LFS.

An EGit pull rebase from within Eclipse frequently fails with a lock fail. It still says update result OK and the repository ends up X commits ahead of master, where X is the number of commits the remote master is ahead of the remote head.

If I then repeat the pull rebase, it seems to fix itself.
I don't see anything printed in the Eclipse error log.

I've disabled the virus scanner, so EGit should be the only program working the Git repository and as I understand it the [lock fail] means something is reading a pack file EGit tries to read. Does EGit use multiple threads to access the repositories?

How would I investigate where the problem is? I feel I don't have enough information to create a bug report at this point.
Could the remote head being different from the master be the problem?

This is on Windows with BitBucket Server, but it looks like no case changes in the branch names as in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=360669
There is no pruning (I think) as in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=502334

I did upgrade to latest EGit (4.6.1) with Eclipse Neon.2 (4.6.2 IDE for Java developers) but it still happening.

Repository size (.git folder excluding lfs) is ~300MB with ~2.6k files.

Thanks for any assistance.

Which lock fails ? What exact error message is shown where ?

Or do you mean a checkout conflict which is raised when a file is locally modified (dirty)
which EGit needs to change due to switching to another version.

I mean it says [lock fail] after the origin/master branch name instead of the commit sha/count in the pull results dialog (like https://wiki.eclipse.org/File:Egit-3.1-FetchWizardResult.png except after pull rebase, not a fetch).

I'll add a screenshot next time it happens (typically if I have a local commit and pull a one or more remote commits).

Here are the screenshots:
index.php/fa/28850/0/

-I just made a local commit (one commit ahead of master)
-team -> pull... -> rebase
Shows first dialog with the [lock fail] for the master branch
-now show repository 181 commits ahead of master (which is how far the remote master is ahead of the the remote head)
-team -> pull... -> rebase
Show the second dialog: local master fast-forwarded 180 commits, so now correctly only 1 commit ahead

I'm new to Git, but is EGit incorrectly pulling (rebasing) my local head with the remote HEAD? And because HEAD is just a pointer to local master it tries to rebase it both the the origin/HEAD and origin/master (which do not point to the same commit), which leads to the conflict.

Is this supposed to happened? I'm not sure were supposed to have a remote HEAD.

Git command line does not show HEAD as a tracking branch (I think), removed most branches in output below, about ~10 stale ones total)
