Description
We are getting failures when trying to record our ".time" files. Likely, these are permissions issues for a shared drive or users using Windows Server 2016 who cloned with admin permissions.
The priority here is probably low. We likely are running the loose objects step and packfile maintenance step a bit too aggressively for these users.
What's the right fix here?

Research direction
Start by reproducing failures while recording .time files on a shared drive and on Windows Server 2016, then inspect the loose objects and packfile maintenance steps mentioned in the report. Done means the run time can be recorded without failed temp-file moves for the affected environments.
