Locking and git-tf and... danger?
SummaryAI, from the source post

This post details the challenges and risks associated with the `git-tf checkin` process, specifically focusing on the need for locks to prevent race conditions and data inconsistencies when bridging Git and Team Foundation Server (TFS). It explains the default locking behavior of TFS, the implications of the `--no-lock` flag, and a scenario where not locking can lead to missed changesets. The post also initiates a discussion on finding safer alternatives to locking.
