When an user tries to create an empty bundle via `git bundle create
<bundle> <revlist>` where `<revlist>` resolves to an empty list (for
example, like `master..master`), the command fails and warns the user
about how it does not want to create empty bundle.

However, the `.lock` file was still open and on Windows that means
that it could not be deleted properly. This patch fixes that issue.

This closes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/790

The code and the commit message make sense, but by reading the subject line

I would have expected a different commit. Maybe
    "bundle: cleanup lock files on error"

Hello,

I don't know why I receive these message (and especially now given the
time at which I pushed this) but I suppose someone (Johannes
Schindelin ?) probably pushed back my original commit from git for
windows github to GIT git repository.

If you think "bundle: cleanup lock files on error" is better, then no
problem with me. I'm not a native english speaker and I simply
expressed the reason for my problem but - after reading back my commit
- neither this mail' subject and my original commit subject (see
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/pull/797/commits/0ef742a1a92ae53188189238adbd16086fabf80a)
express the core problem.

As I'm not accustomed to pushing on GIT 'git repository' , please let
me know if I have something else to do ?

Gaël

Yes that is pretty much what is happening. Johannes (GfW maintainer)
tries to push a lot of patches upstream to git and cc's people who
originally authored the patch.
Thanks for taking a look, again, even after this long time!

I am not a native speaker either, which makes it extra hard to
understand some commits. ;-) So I propose a wording which would have
helped me.

I don't know how Johannes handles pushing changes upstream, maybe he
will take on the work of resending a reworded patch.
Let's hear his thoughts on it. I would guess you're more than welcome
to take your patches from GitForWindows into Git itself.

Cheers,
Stefan

He will.

As I merged the patch into Git for Windows' `master`, I consider it my
responsibility to push this upstream (unless the contributor wants to take
matters into their own hands).

In the future, my hope is that GitGitGadget will make contributing patches
to the Git mailing list a more convenient experience, to the point that it
will hopefully be pretty much as easy as iterating a PR in
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git. At that point, I will ask
contributors to do exactly that in order to shepherd their patches into
git.git.

Ciao,
Dscho
