As explained in the preceding commit, git-gc(1) knows to detach only after it has already packed references and reflogs. This is done to avoid racing around their respective lockfiles.
Adapt git-maintenance(1) accordingly and run the "pack-refs" and "reflog-expire" tasks in the foreground. Note that the "gc" task has the same issue, but the fix is a bit more involved there and will thus be done in a subsequent commit.
