Teach gc --auto to clear the repository before auto packing it to prevent failures when removing files on Windows.
Also teach the test 'fetching with auto-gc does not lock up' to complain when it is no longer triggering an auto packing of the repository. Fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/500 Signed-off-by: Kim Gybels <kgyb...@infogroep.be> --- Updated after Duy Nguyen's comments: - use repo_clear instead of close_all_packs, and add the call in gc_before_repack intead of just before executing git repack - use test_i18ngrep instead of grep in updated test builtin/gc.c | 7 +++++++ t/t5510-fetch.sh | 4 +++- 2 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/builtin/gc.c b/builtin/gc.c index ccfb1ceaeb..22a6fc4863 100644 --- a/builtin/gc.c +++ b/builtin/gc.c @@ -473,6 +473,13 @@ static int report_last_gc_error(void) static int gc_before_repack(void) { + /* + * Shut down everything, we should have all the info we need + * at this point.
