Re: notify alternative to auto gc?

The git help tells me I can disable it by setting gc.auto to 0,
while the mailing list archive tells me I also have to set
gc.autopacklimit to 0.  This is fine, but if I do that, I won't know
when the repo is in need of cleanup.  Is there any option I can set
to instruct it to simply TELL me when it's in need of gc?

An alternative is to actually run "git gc" periodically, to make sure
that git gc --auto is never needed.

I do that from a cron job for example.
