[projects][git] Too many open files (OS X)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This is a bit similar to #13, except it only started occurring after I
added a small (~40 files in ~10 dirs) git project to my Editra Projects pane.

What Plugin does this relate to? What version of the Plugin?

Projects, git.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open Editra
2. Navigate some projects, do some editing.
3. Crash occurs after some time (minutes to hours).

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Crash, traceback:

What version of Editra are you using? On what operating system?

Editra 0.4.95, Mac OS X 10.5 (Intel)

Please provide any additional information below.

"lsof" shows a the open file descriptors by Editra. When navigating the
project/folder trees it grows and doesn't shrink, but this doesn't seem to
(immediately) crash it when it gets to 256. It grows a tonne faster when
the project uses git (cf svn).

The default ulimit -n is 256 on OS X. Increasing this to 1024 lets it run
for a lot longer (hours to days) without crashing.

Thanks,

Seems to be leaking file handles somewhere in the git status command (and 
possibly
elsewhere).

Did some debugging fixed a few things but git is still leaking alot of file 
handles
and I am not sure why.

The GIT.status method leaks around 7 handles everytime its called.

The SVN one was leaking about 3 but is now only leaking 1 on my system.

Also noting that this is only noticed when running editra when its bundled as an
applet (i.e Editra.app), not noticing it when running editra from terminal as 
'python
Editra.py' but checking the lsof output on that python process always returns 
the
same number of handles so not sure if its reading it correctly.

Used the following command to monitor number of open files:

lsof | grep Editra | wc -l
