lock_ref_sha1_basic(): if locking fails with ENOENT, retry
If hold_lock_file_for_update() fails with errno==ENOENT, it might be because somebody else (for example, a pack-refs process) has just deleted one of the lockfile's ancestor directories. So if this condition is detected, try again (up to 3 times). Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
