In ptest's prep phase script first we checkout the latest Hive code from git, and then we make copy of its contents (along .git folder) for that will serve as Yetus' working directory. In some cases we can see errors such as {{+ cp -R . ../yetus cp: cannot stat ?./.git/gc.pid?: No such file or directory}}, e.g. [here|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-18372?focusedCommentId=16321507&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-16321507] This is caused by git running its gc feature in the background when our prep script has already started copying. In cases where gc finishes while cp is running, we'll get this error -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
