+1  Q: 

git-gui reports it has 256 loose objects each time is run and suggests compression which goes fine. How to fix it?

After an unexpected shutdown, now git seemingly works fine but each time is run is asking for compression since it finds 256 loose objects. Is it possible to be cleaned?

+2  A: 

Run git gc. If that doesn't work, please copy the error message.

Thanks; that fixed it. I guess the unexpected shutdown left some unnecessary files around that confused the default system startup.
