Expire the branch cache after `git gc` runs (!5160) · Merge requests · GitLab.org / GitLab FOSS

Stan Hu requested to merge stanhu/gitlab-ce:expire-branch-cache-after-gc into master Jul 08, 2016

Due to a stale NFS cache, it's possible that a branch lookup fails while git gc is running and causes missing branches in merge requests.

I'm not totally convinced this is the right solution, but since we and our customers are experiencing this issue quite frequently, I'm taking a stab at it.

Possible workaround for #15392 (closed)
