+locks.directory
+: The directory in which to store Git LFS file locks.
+[Git LFS File Locking API](https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/blob/master/docs/api/locking.md)
+specifies that certain path can be locked by user. It prevents from accidental file overwrite
+by different user and costly (manual in most cases) binary file merge. Gerrit uses file based
+locks that are stored under `directory`.
+: Default is `$GERRIT_SITE/data/@PLUGIN@/lfs_locks`.
