Hi guys! It looks like the periodic auto-repack backgrounds itself when it shouldn't do so. This causes the command it has triggered as a part of to fail: ========================================================================== [~/linux](master)$ git pull --rebase remote: Counting objects: 455, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (64/64), done. remote: Total 267 (delta 208), reused 262 (delta 203) Receiving objects: 100% (267/267), 44.43 KiB | 0 bytes/s, done.
