| What else can cause "[lock failed]" besides branches that are dups except for case? [message #1807660] |

In the teams I work with, many of them often make the mistake of creating branches whose name is the same as existing branches, except with a case difference. When this is done, some devs working on Windows (our main desktop interface) will get mysterious error dialogs in Eclipse with "[lock failed]" on every branch in the repository. I finally wrote a script that looks at all the remote branches for a repository and finds the ones that are dups except for case. This has fixed the problem in almost every single instance of this error report.
There is one person who is getting this same error in one repository, but I've run the script that checks for this, and there are no branches that are dups except for case.
I thought perhaps he might be getting this because he has local branches that aren't on the remote that are dups except for case, but he literally only has a single branch in the local repo.
What else might possibly be wrong that could cause this?
