Enhancement: Ignore empty lock files With restic 0.15.0 the checks for stale locks became much stricter than before. In particular, empty or unreadable locks were no longer silently ignored. This made restic to complain with `Load(, 0, 0) returned error, retrying after 552.330144ms: load(): invalid data returned` and fail in the end. The error message is now clarified and the implementation changed to ignore empty lock files which are sometimes created as the result of a failed uploads on some backends. Please note that unreadable lock files still have to cleaned up manually. To do so, you can run `restic unlock --remove-all` which removes all existing lock files. But first make sure that no other restic process is currently using the repository. https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/4143 https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/4152
