In the background?  How often would it run?  I do not think a single
lockfile solves anything.  It may prevent simultaneous runs of two
such "prime the well" processes, but the same user may be working in
two separate repositories.

I do not see anything that prevents it from running in the same
repository over and over again, either.  "prompt" is a bad place to
do this kind of thing.
