Key: JENKINS-14046

Project: Jenkins
Issue Type: Bug
Components: git
Affects Versions: current

See elaborate description, dumps and discussion at:

Basically, there is a Jenkins environment with some jobs based on GIT with
periodic polling.
Each of the main GIT operations in the system (periodic polling, the pull at
the beginning of a job, and the tag push at the end of a job) all sometimes
hang, causing builds not to happen.
I suspect that the GIT plugin is holding handles to some GIT internal files,
and this locks out the GIT command-line program and causes it to hang at the
beginning of a run.
This suspicion is based on a different issue I encountered - I could not wipe
the workspace for one of the jobs because a GIT pack file was locked. It turns
out that the process locking the file was Tomcat itself and not the GIT process
as I expected.
