Visual Studio 2015 Preview - Cannot Be Done With Git
I am unable to migrate my projects from Visual Studio 2015 Preview.
When I click a button Commit
in the Team Explorer window, I get this error message:
Last sentence in English: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
I couldn't find if any other process is actually using the file specified.
Everything works fine in Visual Studio 2013. So I actually switch between VS2015 and VS2013 every time I need to commit some changes made to the project, but this is a real waste of time.

I had the same exception. I saw that VS2015 create a new folder next to the file with the same name solutions, such as: <solutionname>.sln.ide
. I have no idea what this folder is good for, but you should find the mentioned file that is locked by another process there.
Since I didn't want to have new files in my repository while I am working with VS2013, I added the folder path to my .gitignore file. Then I could commit again.

Thanks to Frederick, I was able to find a good solution. I'm new to git so I didn't know about using .gitignore files.
Just go to Team Explorer
→ Repositories Settings
. In the section, Ignore File
click Add .
This will add the default .gitignore file.
After that, I never saw the error message again.
