What changed in this PR
This PR adjusts BlockingLockFile to only retry on true lock contention (an existing lock) and adds tests to cover relative-path locking and error propagation scenarios.
Changes:
- Update
BlockingLockFile._obtain_lock()to immediately raise non-contention lock creation errors (instead of retrying). - Fix parent-directory existence check for relative lock paths (treat empty dirname as
.). - Add new tests for waiting, timeout, missing directory, and non-contention error propagation (including config locking).
| File | Description |
|---|---|
git/util.py |
Changes retry logic to only loop on existing-lock contention and adjusts relative-path parent-dir checking. |
test/test_util.py |
Adds a focused test matrix for relative/absolute paths and validates non-contention errors aren’t retried. |
test/test_config.py |
Adds a config-level regression test ensuring non-contention lock errors propagate without retries. |

`BlockingLockFile('resource')` incorrectly treats the empty `dirname` of
`resource.lock` as a missing directory when another holder owns the lock.
Use `os.curdir` for that case so the retry and timeout paths work normally.
Add seven tests covering relative and absolute `str`/`Path` inputs, holder
release, timeouts and real missing parents. The complete Linux/Python 3.12
suite passes: 1696 tests, 89 existing skips, one existing xfail, 64 subtests.
Pinned hooks, mypy, basedpyright, docs, builds and strict Twine also pass.

- [P2] Propagate non-contention errors before retrying relative locks —
git/util.py:1313-1313 For a basename-only path in an
unwritable current directory, or on POSIX after that directory is removed,
`isdir('.')` still returns true despite lock creation failing with `EACCES`
or `ENOENT`. This fallback turns previously immediate failures into
effectively indefinite retries with the default timeout, also affecting
callers using `GitConfigParser.t_lock = BlockingLockFile`. Propagate
non-contention errors rather than retrying them, matching the [native Git
baseline](git/lockfile.c#L234-L235), which
retries only `EEXIST`.
