[PATCH] bitbake: fetch2/git: run gc in foreground to avoid race with tar

[Damian Wrobel]

From: Adam Romanek <romanek.adam@gmail.com>

It looks like git gc can interrupts the package creation when
BB_GENERATE_MIRRORS_TARBALL is in use.

Log excerpts:

tar -czf TOPDIR/../downloads/git2_bitbucket.name-hidden.git.tar.gz . failed with exit code 1, output:
tar: ./objects/pack/pack-89a1d76f6c08f53172ef1d02ff851d90564362c4.pack: file changed as we read it
tar: ./objects/pack/pack-b4a48ada355d333630fdf6b4f67205b7c264dc2c.idx: File removed before we read it

Auto packing the repository in background for optimum performance.
See "git help gc" for manual housekeeping.
