Re: People unaware of the importance of "git gc"?

The fact that git sometimes stores your files individually in the .git

be an implementation detail that end-users don't have to worry about
day to day...

[alias]
        begin = gc
	leave = gc

That is, the user's manual says 'at the beginning of the day,
run "git begin" to start the day, and at the end of day, run
"git leave" to conclude your day', without saying why ;-)
