If it goes away by itself with lower load, I would say it's minor. If it make rudder unable to scale past some point, it's major.

This is due to the fact that Jgit doesn't manage concurrency well, and if several write operation are concurrently done, we have cases where it breaks (but it's ~safe, since the presence of the .lock file prevent git repo corruption - but throws an exception).

The linked ticket #18983 should correct that, and a if not, we will need a fully sequential management of git operation with a git queue.
