Research direction

Start by reproducing a branch merge in NodeGit while VS Code or WebStorm is synchronizing files, comparing behavior when the IDE is not syncing. Investigate the reported interaction with libgit2 and determine how the file-lock condition can be monitored or handled; done when the behavior and a validated resolution are documented.
