[x] This is an early version of work already under review upstream.
See gitgitgadget/git#1567 for the version submitted upstream. This is an early version for the microsoft/git fork so we could potentially include it in a release to our Microsoft partners. Upgrading to a version with these changes may help with some of the auth problems plaguing GVFS Cache Servers. (It's not a long-term fix, but would avoid having fingers pointed in this direction in the future.)
At least on Windows, we should re-run git maintenance start as part of scalar reconfigure during the installer. On other platforms, we will need to rely on users slowly rotating through their local repositories.
I needed to close this so I can reopen it with a new branch name. My upstream contribution needed to be rebased onto a more-recent version to avoid conflicts in header files.
