How does the new Git lock prevention work?

Git Brain now queues commands sequentially and aborts background fetches when you start a push or pull. If a lock persists due to a crashed external Git process, it offers a warning dialog to delete the lock file and retry.

How do I turn off tooltips in Git Brain?

Open VS Code settings, search for 'Git Brain: Disable Tooltips', and check the box. The tooltips will be disabled instantly without requiring a reload.
