          Priority: normal
            Bug ID: 3751
                CC: mercurial-devel at selenic.com
          Assignee: bugzilla at selenic.com
           Summary: hg update aborts with 'file in use' on Windows
          Severity: bug
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Windows
          Reporter: mpm at selenic.com
          Hardware: PC
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: unspecified
         Component: Mercurial
           Product: Mercurial

Various commands can fail with a message like:

 abort: file in use by another process

One scenario, as described in Bug 2351, is that an IDE decides to scan the
working directory to update its code completion database while an 'hg update'
is in progress. Unfortunately, it doesn't open the files for shared access, and
thus Mercurial encounters a file in use error.
