[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.
This PR is a recreation of #593 now that the upstream change required rebasing to resolve header conflicts.
