The point of auto gc is to pack new objects created in loose format, so a good rule of thumb is where we do update-ref after creating a new commit.

Why bother with git-rebase--interactive.sh? It calls two tools, git-cherry-pick (which calls git-commit) and git-commit to do its per-commit dirty work. So on every step of `git rebase -i` we are now running `git gc --auto`. No need to also run it at the end. Note this is also true of `git rebase -m` as that uses the wonderful feature of `git commit -C $oldid` per commit to make the new commit. -- Shawn.
