Re: Temporary git files for the gitdir created on a separate drive in workdir

[Hultqvist <hultqvist@silentorbit.com>]

Since this thread started I haven't seen a single file mentioned being created,
Usually they appear during work days when there is more activity.
I've never seen the files created directly, only a larger amount of
them once in a while.

I will run process monitor and get back once I find out more.
