Maybe we should make "git gc --auto" remove any unreachable objects?

Wouldn't that mean that any loose commit objects you have lying around
would be removed by the automatic git gc?

One feature of git that I personally rely on is that I can liberally
move heads around / make commits on detached heads and not have those
commits gc'd unless I explicitly ask for it for a while.
