Checkout on SelfHosted fails with "process cannot access the file the file because it is being used by another process" #1018

Brand new folder created only the self-hosted runner is blocked by another (?) process, possibly by anti-virus software. Since not retry attempt is made, fails instanbtly. image

I am having the same issue with v3 and v3.2.0. It seems that reverting back to actions/checkout@v2 is the only workaround so far. However, GitHub gives some warnings about 


Node.js 12 actions are deprecated. For more information, see: https://github.blog/changelog/2022-09-22-github-actions-all-actions-will-begin-running-on-node16-instead-of-node12/. Please update the following actions to use Node.js 16: actions/checkout@v2
 ```

So using v2 is only a temporary solution.

It seems that it is more prone to errors when checking submodules recursively.

Fixed on v3 for me by ensuring core.fsmonitor=false in C:\Program Files\Git\etc\gitconfig

It is a very nice trick. It also worked for me. Thanks!

I ran into the same problem even with v2 and this fixed it for me.

Worked for me, too, thanks very much @davidlawson

It is probably easier for everyone to add this to "checkout" directly, similar to what is done for "safe.directory"? It could be unnecessary when running inside container, but it probably won't hurt either.
