Interesting; I will try and investigate if I can find something.

With gitweb on a public site, there might be a problem when you pushed
some blob containing trade secrets accidentally, and try to scrub the
repository using "git gc" after a forced push.

Agreed.  This config variable is biased to *keep* data if set to true,
and (default) false value is biased not to keep that same data, so
that will always be a conflict.

But if you are able to do "gc" manually on any repo you can also do
"reflog expire" before "gc" can you not?  Please correct me if I'm
wrong.
