libgit2 error -1/2(Failed to rename lockfile)

[maryr34816705]

I've been getting an error message in Character Animator CC. Here is my system and software info:

• Windows 10 Pro, version 1809
• Character Animator CC 2019, version 2.1.1

Here is a screen shot of the error message

This is my work computer, so my files are stored on the network, so that they will be backed up every evening. The "N:\Navitas Website\Animation\Data Analytics\Character Animator\Data Analytics - Scenes 4-7" is the location on the network of my files.

Here is a screen shot of the directory tree for my Character Animator files on the network.

How can I fix this problem?

Thanks.

I normally refer LibGit errors to DanTull​ from Adobe.

Thanks for the pointer. I replied to a message privately, but since the info might be of general use, I'll post here as well.

Character Animator projects use a SQLite database internally and the locking used for transaction rollback (the mechanism that restores the database to a good state after a serious error or crash) is not reliable on network volumes, so I'd avoid working on Ch projects stored on such volumes. It's fine to save a copy there for backups, but working from a project stored on a network drive is risky.

I will move my files.

Thanks.
