Jgit is causing long execution time in GitLab Pipeline

[MM-Hahn]

Hello 👋

we are using Spotless for our verification tasks in our Pipeline and are experiencing long waiting times. This is only related when executing Spotless in a docker environment.

Gradle version: 6.5.1 (We got many projects with slightly different versions)
Spotless version: 3.27.1 & 5.7

Spot of issue in GitLab Pipeline:

To honour the JVM settings for this build a new JVM will be forked. Please consider using the daemon: https://docs.gradle.org/6.2/userguide/gradle_daemon.html.
Daemon will be stopped at the end of the build stopping after processing
locking FileBasedConfig[/root/.gitconfig] failed after 5 retries

After some research I found a corresponding bug from Jgit: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=566170
The bug is now resolved with version 5.9.0.202009080501-r and spotless is using 5.8.0.202006091008-r

Are any others of you experiencing this issue? The Pipeline stops for about 2 minutes at this point.

Possible workaround in Gradle:

buildscript {
    configurations.classpath {
        resolutionStrategy {
            force("org.eclipse.jgit:org.eclipse.jgit:5.9.0.202009080501-r")
        }
    }
}

EDIT:

This failure does not affect the execution time of the pipeline. Nevertheless it is an error and can be solved by updating jGit (like above).
