right-click on your project -> show in the local terminal - > git bash then make a git pull .

that's worked for me ( Oxygen2 Relase 4.7.2 )

    I can't delete the .lock file. It says iI should close eclipse to delete the file, then I after closing eclipse I was able to delete it but when I start again my eclipse, the .lock file is restore. – Van Jul 22 '14 at 10:05
  • Open your task manager. Click details and close all the eclipse tasks.. then delete the .lock file it should work. – Deepanshu J bedi Jul 22 '14 at 13:37

    still the same. I've actually restart my pc to be sure no applications will be open. But still the same. I've tried using unlocker application but still the same. And also tried to delete it by using cmd but still restore whenever eclipse start. I really want to get the rid of it. – Van Jul 23 '14 at 02:37

    OP is not very specific about his issue. A lock fail error may occur on a Git repository, in that case this answer is of no use, because the linked post deals with locking the Eclipse workspace, which is something completely different. – user1438038 Nov 27 '18 at 18:27

I know it's an old thread but, it might help someone.

Please check if you have two or more branches with the same name ignoring the case sensitivity.

deleting the duplicate-named branches solved the issue for me. Hope it helps

If you are using tortoise svn tool than right click on your codebase folder and select tortoise svn cleanup. wait for completion and it should works...

On your repo, if there are branches with duplicate names (non-case sensitive), then delete the duplicate branch and try fetching again, it should resolve the problem.
