Hi!
I couldn't find this answered in the documentation: if, instead of
exiting right away, a »git gc --auto« actually commences its housekeeping
tasks, is it safe to interrupt (C-c, SIGINT) the original git invocation
at this point, or might this cause any inconsistencies, data loss, or
failure to perform the task Git has originally been invoked for? I
generally do find the auto-housekeeping useful, just sometimes it happens
at the "wrong" moment, and so I'd like to delay it until next time.
Grüße,
Thomas
