Handle some common errors file

Rather often Vault cannot "Get latest" of a file because it is locked in the operating system. (This for example happens because we have some executables and dll's under version control, and if these are in use vault cannot update them).

The problem is that Vault gives a rather elaborate stack-dump in this case, instead of a decent error message. In this dump I have to find the file name, and that is not very easy.

Can you post an example of this error? Perhaps we can streamline it into something more helpful.

Sure:

Code: Select all

Thanks. Turns out we had another request to fix this. I added your "vote."
