JGit's ObjectDirectory implements the optimization that it remembers the pack folders (.git/objects/pack) lastModified timestamp and doesn't check for new packfiles in this folder if the lastModified attribute has not changed. In environments using NFS this can cause trouble. If multiple JGit instances from multiple machines work on the same repository and one instance creates a new ref and a new packfile (e.g. by doing a fetch) then the other machines may detect the new ref but can't resolve the referenced object because it doesn't detect that pack folder has a new packfile. That's because NFS may cache file/folder metadata for quite a long time and the pack folders modification time is not updated although a new packfile is there and could be read. The new config parameter core.trustfolderstat controls this behaviour. The default is true and jgits behaviours is unchanged. But if this parameter is set to false then jgit doesn't trust the pack directories lastmodified anymore. Instead it will always iterate through the content of that folder to detect new packfiles.
