This patch could go to maint. I don't know if it's worth the trouble. I
was unable to figure out a way to trigger this reliably (hence no
tests). The two ways I considered were:

  - "chmod -w .git", but it results in a die() already

  - the bug I'm fixing in 2/2; but we don't want to rely on that in our
    test suite, since I'm about to fix it. :-/

A locking conflict is an easy way to trigger this error:

Thanks, that's a good suggestion; I'll add a test in the re-roll.
