Let "git svn" run "git gc --auto" every 100 imported commits, to
reduce the number of loose objects.

I found 100 was a bit too low when doing some large repos, I've
been using 1000.  I'd argue that --repack=1000 should be done by
default.

I've found 100 for repack too low in the past, too, which is why
repack defaults to 1000 if no number is specified.  I think it
should hold for gc --auto, too.

I'm not quite sure how this should interact with the --repack flag.
Right now they just coexist, except for never running right after one
another, but conceivably we should do something cleverer. Eric?

I consider --repack is out-of-date now that we have gc --auto.  I'm in
favor of ripping out repack support in git-svn and just using gc --auto.

How about git gc always gets run at the very end of a git svn fetch?

I'd much prefer that we run gc --auto at the end of every fetch instead
of doing so randomly for small fetches.
