You may face that the repo object leaves lock files behind after fetch, so we need to clean them up with a forced object delete
Ref: gitpython-developers/GitPython#718 (comment)
We suspect this is due to git cat-file calls in fetch implementation together with using GitCmdObjectDB as the object database
Ref: https://gitpython.readthedocs.io/en/stable/tutorial.html#gitcmdobjectdb
Using GitDB seems to fix the issue but we keep using GitCmdObjectDB for consistency
