Description

Currently it isn't possible use the same cache from multiple processes. This is a problem in some situations, especially for build servers, which have to use one cache per process, defeating some of the purpose of the cache. Adding an option allowing to use cache locking to ensure the repository cache can be used by concurrent build would be a nice improvement.

To avoid degrading performance of local builds where the cache is not shared, this should only be an option.
