I kinda like it [listing the commands git-gc calls], and it might be 
helpful if someone's got a large repo and one part of gc for some reason 
didn't complete so they want to start at whatever step it broke off on.

Let me clarify: I do not like the listing in the man page.  This suggests 
to the user to delve into plumbing areas where it is all too easy to shoot 
yourself in the foot.

I misunderstood.

I have nothing against listing the commands per se.  But the man page is 
too exposed IMHO.  (Or would you like to add the original shell script to 
git-log's man page, too?)

My preferred location would be somewhere near Documentation/technical/, so 
that people reading the commands are more likely to understand the 
consequences.

But maybe I'm wrong.

Having read the reasoning, I confess myself convinced. Thanks for clarifying.
