56	git 2.0.0 gc command destroys repositories	Steven Levine		"This is somewhat related to #53.

There appears to be a problem in start_command() (run-command.c)which results in the stdin of the forked process not getting properly connected the stdout of the parent process.

In the case of git gc, this results in repack not receiving an object list on stdin and producing an empty pack file.  The only recourse in this case is to restore the repo from a backup because the loose objects have been deleted.
