switching branch triggers an error
See original GitHub issueEvery time I switch to another branch using ‘cmd + b’ within a local repo, I get the following error modal:
A lock file already exists in the repository, which blocks this operation from completing.
I am using a mbp with high sierra 10.13.5 and github desktop 1.2.3
The error can be dismissed without consequence, I just thought you might want to know about it.
The error does not appear when changing branches with point and click in the menus.
I have looked this error up and various sources suggest creating a lock file, then deleting it, but this did not fix the error.

Should I take a screen shot?
No, this is the weird thing (and why I posted it).
I do use phpstorm, which has git integration, but this a new bug since a recent update.
I will investigate if it is phpstorm causing the error.
UPDATE This bug still appears even when phpstorm is closed.
