      Sourcetree 4.2.18 (313), macOS 26.5.2.

       

      A Sourcetree child running git c credential.helper=sourcetree fetch origin remained alive for 17 days. It kept .git/FETCH_HEAD and a multigigabyte pack open until Sourcetree was quit.

       

      Expected: background fetches have a timeout or cancellation path and do not remain indefinitely.
