Fixes issue 620 (met three times, today when a delivery plan's pre-move backups on novox held the repository's lock): restic-night's thinning failed at once on a lock another restic held 250 ms earlier, so the repository grew until a later thinning succeeded and restic on novox read unhealthy.
What changes (modules/restic)
Both thinning calls (the forget by id of hand-taken restore points, and the forget/prune) pass restic's --retry-lock 10m0s. Ten minutes outlasts a whole night's backups of a machine and stays under restic's 30-minute stale-lock age, so a truly stuck lock still fails the same night with today's words and health. The README says so. Installed restic is 0.19.1 (the flag exists since 0.16).
Checks
lock_test.go (a fake restic holding the lock 3 s, 5 min, 11 min; the forget by id waiting too), each seen failing first; unit suite and vet pass; try build-1792688002482137569 passed (trunk 835bf22b).
The misleading generic condition words ('Nothing for you to do ... clears as soon as it runs again') are mesh-controller's text for any unhealthy module, noted on 620 for the next milestone, as is the reviewer's suggestion to thin once per plan instead of once per module.

A restic outside the night's lock, such as a listing while a delivery plan backs up
data modules before their moves, held the lock 246 ms before the thinning asked for it,
and the thinning failed at once, raising an urgent condition for a timing collision.
restic's --retry-lock now waits up to ten minutes on both of the thinning's forgets;
past that it fails with restic's words as before.

Fixes issue 620 (met three times, today when a delivery plan's pre-move backups on novox held the repository's lock): restic-night's thinning failed at once on a lock another restic held 250 ms earlier, so the repository grew until a later thinning succeeded and restic on novox read unhealthy.
What changes (modules/restic)
Both thinning calls (the forget by id of hand-taken restore points, and the forget/prune) pass restic's
--retry-lock 10m0s. Ten minutes outlasts a whole night's backups of a machine and stays under restic's 30-minute stale-lock age, so a truly stuck lock still fails the same night with today's words and health. The README says so. Installed restic is 0.19.1 (the flag exists since 0.16).Checks
lock_test.go (a fake restic holding the lock 3 s, 5 min, 11 min; the forget by id waiting too), each seen failing first; unit suite and vet pass; try build-1792688002482137569 passed (trunk
835bf22b).The misleading generic condition words ('Nothing for you to do ... clears as soon as it runs again') are mesh-controller's text for any unhealthy module, noted on 620 for the next milestone, as is the reviewer's suggestion to thin once per plan instead of once per module.
