[jgit-dev] Running Git Garbage Collection in parallel / locking the repo

[Alexander Riss <ariss@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I was wondering if it is currently supported/handeled to have multiple Git
Garbage Collections triggered from multiple threads on the same repository?

Looking at the GC Command, it did not make the impression that parallel
actions on the repository are allowed while one GC is running? (e.g.
Packed files are requested multiple times - although the list could change
in-between)

I ran into some repository corruption issues (missing trees/blobs/links)
lately where GC could have been running in parallel - and there also were
frequent pushes to the repository.

Best regards,
 Alexander Riss
