RhodeCode repository locking system

Repos with locking function=disabled is the default, that's how repos work today.
Repos with locking function=enabled behaves like follows:

Repos have a state called locked that can be true or false. The hg/git commands hg/git clone, hg/git pull, and hg/git push influence this state:

  • The command hg/git pull <repo> will lock that repo (locked=true) if the user has write/admin permissions on this repo
  • The command hg/git clone <repo> will lock that repo (locked=true) if the user has write/admin permissions on this repo

RhodeCode will remember the user id who locked the repo only this specific user can unlock the repo (locked=false) by calling

  • hg/git push <repo>

every other command on that repo from this user and every command from any other user will result in http return code 423 (locked)

additionally the http error includes the <user> that locked the repo (e.g. “repository <repo> locked by user <user>”)

So the scenario of use for repos with locking function enabled is that every initial clone and every pull gives users (with write permission) the exclusive right to do a push.

Each repo can be manually unlocked by admin from the repo settings menu.
