Instead, integrate with Task Scheduler. Tasks can be scheduled using the 'schtasks' command. There are several command-line options that can allow for some advanced scheduling, but unfortunately these seem to all require authenticating using a password. Instead, use the "/xml" option to pass an XML file that contains the configuration for the necessary schedule. These XML files are based on some that I exported after constructing a schedule in the Task Scheduler GUI. These options only run background maintenance when the user is logged in, and more fields are populated with the current username and SID at run-time by 'schtasks'. Since the GIT_TEST_MAINT_SCHEDULER environment variable allows us to specify 'schtasks' as the scheduler, we can test the Windows-specific logic on other platforms. Thus, add a check that the XML file written by Git is valid when xmllint exists on the system. Since we use a temporary file for the XML files sent to 'schtasks', we prefix the random characters with the frequency so it is easier to examine the proper file during tests. Instead of an exact match on the 'args' file, we 'grep' for the arguments other than the filename. There is a deficiency in the current design. Windows has two kinds of applications: GUI applications that start by "winmain()" and console applications that start by "main()". Console applications are attached to a new Console window if they are not already associated with a GUI application. This means that every hour the scheudled task launches a command window for the scheduled tasks. Not only is this visually obtrusive, but it also takes focus from whatever else the user is doing! A simple fix would be to insert a GUI application that acts as a shim between the scheduled task and Git. This is currently possible in Git for Windows by setting the tag equal to C:\Program Files\Git\git-bash.exe with options "--hide --no-needs-console --command=cmd\git.exe" followed by the arguments currently used. Since git-bash.exe is not included in Windows builds of core Git, I chose to leave out this feature. My plan is to submit a small patch to Git for Windows that converts the use of git.exe with this use of git-bash.exe in the short term. In the long term, we can consider creating this GUI shim application within core Git, perhaps in contrib/.
