Overview
This command runs a user-specified command while locking the repository. For example:
$ borg with-lock /mnt/borgrepo rsync -av /mnt/borgrepo /somewhere/else/borgrepo
It will first try to acquire the lock (make sure that no other operation is running in the repository), then execute the given command as a subprocess and wait for its termination, release the lock, and return the user command's return code as Borg's return code.
Note:
If you copy a repository with the lock held, the lock will be present in the copy. Thus, before using Borg on the copy from a different host, you need to use "borg break-lock" on the copied repository, because Borg is cautious and does not automatically remove stale locks made by a different host.
