TGitCache blocks Windows to eject USB drive

By vid... on January 16, 2014 17:45 (imported from Google Code)


What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Plug any USB drive (with Git repo) into USB port. Windows recognizes it.
  2. Do any Git operation (e. g. pull).
  3. After done & close Windows Explorer, try to eject the drive (using standard tray icon).

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

Windows cannot correctly eject USB drive. (When I kill TGitCache.exe manually from Windows Task Manager, USB drive is ejected correctly.)

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

-- both Windows XP and W7 with newest SP
-- TortoiseGit 1.8.7.0 (also on older versions)
-- git version 1.8.3.msysgit.0
