I'm getting errors from 'git repack -Ad' with this version on Windows XP:

$ /bin/git repack -Ad Counting objects: 147960, done. Delta compression using up to 2 threads. Compressing objects: 100% (35552/35552), done. Writing objects: 100% (147960/147960), done.

A bisection pointed me to this commit (https://github.com/msysgit/git/commit/19d1e75):
 "Win32: Unicode file name support (except dirent)"

When I reset "/git" to this commit and recompile, 'git gc' and 'git repack -Ad' don't raise this error anymore.

Any ideas ?
Thanks,
  Stefan

c5d4ecfe just adds unicode conversion functions without using them anywhere, so I doubt that this commit has anything to do with the error. Besides, that code was merged only this week, so its not even in the pre-built v1.7.9 installer.

Have you checked virus scanners or other background jobs that might keep the directories open?

Right. But the commit that comes after it: 19d1e75

I built the installer myself.

I tried that on a physical machine with an on-access virus scanner enabled and disabled, and also on a virtual machine (VirtualBox) with no virus scanner installed. Makes no difference.

I also used "Process Explorer" (www.sysinternals.com) to find any other process that might have the directory open, but there wasn't any. If you know any other tools for that, let me know.

Regards,
  Stefan

I was getting this a few months back before I set GIT_ASK_YESNO to false and forgot all about it.

For me, it occurred every time I allowed git-gui to pack loose objects and I sort of assumed repack was doing a 'rmdir .git/objects/*/" to clean up empty directories and was triggering the prompt on non-empty directories.

There was a bit of discussion regarding a slightly different symptom a while back: http://groups.google.com/group/msysgit/browse_thread/thread/0f75ac5abd850e21
