------------------------------------------------------------
Change in [^HIVE-18443.0.patch] calls git gc explicitly. This call will only
succeed once any background gc's finished. We're retrying every second while
it's failing (indicating background gc in progress)

> In ptest's prep phase script first we checkout the latest Hive code from git,

> In some cases we can see errors such as
> {code}
> + cp -R . ../yetus
> cp: cannot stat ?./.git/gc.pid?: No such file or directory

> This is caused by git running its gc feature in the background when our prep
> script has already started copying. In cases where gc finishes while cp is
> running, we'll get this error
