An updated series of "git-gc --auto", on top of 'next',
consisting of 8 patches, will follow this message.
Differences from the previous round are:
- Earlier if you have too many unreachable loose objects,
automated gc would have tried to "repack -d -l" which would
not improve the situation at all every time it was run. It
now at least warns upon such a situation;
- pack-objects learned --keep-unreachable option which helps
"repack -a -d" not to lose packed but unreachable objects
while repacking existing packs into a new pack;
- repack learned -A option which is similar to -a but gives
--keep-unreachable to underlying pack-objects;
- "git-gc --auto" runs "git-repack -A -d -l" when there are too
many packs in the repository;
- These changes are documented ;-)
