Hello,
With git 19.2.2 after `git pull` the output was 1. Autopacking the repository in background for optimal performance. See "git help gc" for manual housekeeping
2. error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge: … Please commit your changes or stash them before you merge. Aborting
This implies, that `git gc` runs in the background.
Then I called `git rebase --autostash` on which the output contained again:
“Autopacking the repository in background for optimal performance. See "git help gc" for manual housekeeping.”
The second message means, that `git gc` is again started in the background, before the first GC has finished. Clearly non-sense.
In practice, the second GC does not run, or exits very fast.
* Alter `git rebase --autostash` not to write, that git gc is called, when that GC doesn’t do anything.
Regards Дилян
