This is... odd. JGit shouldn't be keeping a .idx file open. This would
appear to be a leaked resource handle. We do keep .pack files open,
but those are supposed to be closed when you call close() on the
Repository object, assuming the number of close calls matches the
number of open increments that were performed on the Repository
object.

But .idx files are always handled as open, read entire file, close. We
shouldn't ever be keeping the .idx file handle open. So this sounds
like a resource leak.
