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

But this suffers from the same fate if the user sets gc.auto too

stage the magic number of unreachable blobs into the 17 directory
and they have *never* run `git gc --prune` because the auto thing
is working just fine for them and they don't realize they need to
prune every once in a blue moon.
  

Check the modification times on those files and don't count ones that 
are older than the last git-gc run, maybe? That'd take care of the problem.
