We have the same problems with Git and pack files, as well as other file
locking issues on Windows slaves. For instance, if a build is set to
abort if it runs too long, and then we have Naginator retry the build,
some build process often keeps a handle on a file in the workspace,
causing the rebuild to fail. Like you, I've been dealing with it using
handle.exe and/or Process Explorer. I took a look at the Clean Workspace
source code at one point, because we usually clear the workspace before
building, and it looked there was potential to improve its robustness. I
never had time to follow up.
Good luck!

We have a Jenkins server (1.518) running on Ubuntu, with many plugins
active, including "Jenkins GIT client plugin" 1.3.0 and "Jenkins GIT
plugin" 1.5.0. What we're seeing is that in many cases on Windows
agents of either Win7x64 or WinXP (not on Ubuntu), that often (but not
always), a Git .pack file remains held open, causing subsequent builds
to fail due to the Git .pack file remaining open. The only
workarounds we have right now are to either bounce the agent java
process on each windows machine that's showing the issue, or run a
scheduled job which uses a handle.exe utility to find open .pack files
and close them forcibly. Neither of these options are useful in the
grand scheme of things.
I've tried changing the options on our windows agent .bat launch
scripts to include either:
java -Xmx5g -Dorg.jenkinsci.plugins.gitclient.Git.useJGit=true -jar
slave.jar -jnlpurl ...
java -Xmx5g -Dorg.jenkinsci.plugins.gitclient.Git.useCLI=true -jar
slave.jar -jnlpurl ...
but neither option has caused any difference in behavior. In reading
online it looks like 1.518 already sets useCLI=true as default, so I'm
doubtful that it's making any difference anyway.
Are others seeing this issue? If not, any suggestions on where to
look to try and resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance!
