Implement Git LFS file locking API
Git LFS 2 introduced native file locking for LFS objects. GitLab should implement the LFS file locking API for locking and unlocking files.
Supporting this for EE is already requested in gitlab-org/gitlab-ee#1830. This issue is to request the general implementation and support of Git LFS file locking in Gitlab CE.
Proposal
- Add LFS File Locking API (LFS 2.0)
- LFS files locked through the Git LFS locking API should be shown with a locked status through GitLab web interface
- LFS files cannot be locked or unlocked through the GitLab web interface
