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

Ok, how about doing something like this?

git add? merge? rebase? No, I have a sneakier place to invoke gc.

Whenever $EDITOR gets invoked. Heck, whenever git is waiting for any user input,
do some gc in the background, it'd just have to be incremental so that we could
pick up where we left off.

I like it. Writing a commit-message takes anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes
for me (sometimes having to check up bug id's, or verifying details in the code).
Sneaking in a repack here would be absolutely stellar :)

It's also nice in that it won't affect people who just follow a project's tip to
get the bleeding edge. For them it shouldn't matter much that they have multiple
small packs obtained while fetching, or if it's all bungled together in a big one.
