Description

Motivation

See #162125

In fetchneedles we cleanup the git directory by running git gc. We should do that as well for our new CASEDIR/NEEDLES_DIR git_auto_clone feature.

Acceptance Criteria

  • AC1: The git checkout is regularly cleaned to not use too much space

Suggestions

  • Use git gc to trigger cleanup of the local copy of the repo
  • Wait for #164886

Setting this back to workable, as i am unavailable until next Wednesday.
Also the merge of #164886 had to be reverted and needs further work.

Moving this back into "Next".

Maybe we don't need it as git gc is automatically called for common commands, as @robert.richardson found out.

But there might be a reason why we use it in fetchneedles: https://github.com/os-autoinst/openQA/commit/0e7265d4a93c37b672b75d733b73a4fe591e05bf

I've had a short talk with Oli regarding the explicit git gc call. It was introduced solely in order to suppress any output in case the test does not fail, to avoid cron mail spam.
As this special case does not apply for minion jobs and git gc is already called in the background automatically, i would argue the AC is fulfilled.
