When `git clone` is asked to dissociate the repository from the reference repository whose objects were used, it is quite possible that the pack files need to be repacked. In that case, the pack files need to be deleted that were originally hard-links to the reference repository's pack files. On platforms where a file cannot be deleted if another process still holds a handle on it, we therefore need to take pains to release all pack files and indexes before dissociating. This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/446 The test case to demonstrate the breakage technically does not need to be run on Linux or MacOSX. It won't hurt, either, though.
