Hi folks,

I've just reorganized several repositories (eg. splitted off a large repo into several small ones), and then I had massive corruptions (broken pack files) in the new repos (after they already had been clean).

Maybe it has something to do with a cronjob which frequently GC's all the repos, and it could get even worse if the fs sometimes goes full within this process.

Could multiple GCs running on the same repo cause this ?
