      When building a job with a git branch specifier that ends with a wildcard (ie origin/feature/* or origin/feature*) jenkins never releases its hold on .git/object/pack/.pack files. This causes the next build to not be able to wipe the workspace. This is not a problem if the branch specifier does not end with a wildcard.

      The *.pack file cannot be deleted until the javaw.exe process (JNLP connection to jenkins) is killed.

      The only way I have been able to get by is to not wipe the workspace before builds.

      This is the stack trace that this causes...

          I am seeing this same issue, cannot clear the workspace without restarting Jenkins.

          Seeing the same issue, not able to clear out the workspace. Had to restart Jenkins. It is painful specially in case of nightly jobs.
          Any idea when this will be fixed? or is there a workaround on the Git side?

          Seeing the same.
          Please fix.
          We dont have any workaround for this issue.

          I'm also seeing the same issue.

          Edit: I'm seeing this issue with just a branch specifier of "master" (implicit */master). Started occurring in release 1.504.

          I was able to successfully work around this issue by the workaround mentioned in the Description: Disabling the "Wipe out workspace before build" Option has worked for me BUT to get it working I had to stop our Windows Jenkins slave first, remove the workspace manually and restart the Windows Jenkins slave. Just disabling "Wipe out workspace before build" was not enough.

          +1 from me for fixing this issue as well!
