Issue with handles being kept when there are uncommitted changes

I will use https://github.com/XhmikosR/notepad2-mod.git as an example, but this should happen with any repository.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Check out https://github.com/XhmikosR/notepad2-mod.git
2. Change any file from the repo but don't commit your changes
3. Run git gc --aggressive --prune=now

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

I'd expect git gc to finish without errors but instead:

What version of TortoiseGit and msysgit are you using? On
what operating system?

Windows 7 64-bit, TortoiseGit 1.8.1.0 , git version 1.8.1.msysgit.1

If I revert the changes and wait a little bit (perhaps for tgit to refresh the icons?) then git gc completes successfully.
