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.

OK, I'll change it. But remember, gc --auto doesn't do _anything_
unless it's deemed necessary, so it should behave much better than
just plain repack. In theory at least.

I consider --repack is out-of-date now that we have gc --auto.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.

Will do. What should I do with the repack commadline options? Keep
them for backwards compatibility but ignore them?

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.

OK, will do. I'll just have to find a good spot to call it from. Hints
welcome.
