Ok, thanks. I don't do either of these things in scripts myself, so
haven't seen it.
I did however do things with branches over the API that was getting 412
a lot, but this came down to automated tasks that LP does in the
background the modify the branch happening in about the same amount of
time after pushing the branch that my script took to get to the API
stage, leading to legitimate 412 errors that were easy to work around
once I understood what was going on.
Thanks,
James
