I've encountered the following whenever I access Git and try to compress the database due to loose objects.

error: cannot lock ref 'HEAD~' error: cannot lock ref 'refs/heads/collections~' error: cannot lock ref 'refs/heads/master~'

I'm on a Windows box (no comments please!), I've tried gc from the command line, as well as the GUI option, with the same results. Any help would be greatly appreciated, last count was over 2000 loose objects.

Thanks,

David Forman Systems Manager dairyfood USA, Inc.
