The last test added to 't5510-fetch' in 0898c9628104 (fetch: release pack files before garbage-collecting, 2016-01-13) may sporadically trigger following error message from the test harness: rm: cannot remove 'trash directory.t5510-fetch/auto-gc/.git': Directory not empty The test in question forces an auto-gc, which, if the system supports it, runs in the background by default, and occasionally takes long enough for the test to finish and for 'test_done' to start housekeeping. This can lead to the test's 'git gc --auto' in the background and 'test_done's 'rm -rf $trash' in the foreground racing each other to create and delete files and directories. It might just happen that 'git gc' re-creates a directory that 'rm -rf' already visited and removed, which ultimately triggers the above error. Disable detaching the auto-gc process to ensure that it finishes before the test can continue, thus avoiding this racy situation.
