I don't care either way.  60 days may be too long for some users,
but for others it may be nice to have.  I think the two defaults
should match just because.  Feel free to edit my patch before
applying to be whatever 'git-reflog expire' uses if you want.

I think the built-in git-reflog should be updated to honor the
configuration in the absense of command line options; if we do
that git-gc.sh does not even have to call repo-config anymore.

Sure, but then maybe the configuration options shouldn't be
'gc.reflog*' but instead 'reflog.*'.

Actually I think gc.reflog, gc.rerere and friends make more
sense.  In other words, I think it is better to match the
configuration group to what the end user primarily sees, which
is "gc"; "reflog expire" and "rerere gc" are implementation
details of it.
