Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
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 repo), 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.
