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.

Careful. I made the same mistake and it had to be corrected with
e0cd252eb0ba6453acd64762625b004aa4cc162b.

I think defaulting to --repack=1000 is a sane first step and you
guys already have most code for it so that is a very safe thing.

Switching to "gc --auto" can be done early post 1.5.4, right?
