The option does not only control whether or not a warning appears, but

*not* happen.
Ah, OK, now what you said makes perfect sense.
I think so, too. For this reason, my implied suggestion was to protect
the new call of `git maintenance` with a check whether gui.gcwarning is
enabled. Then we don't make anything worse for those who have it disabled.
Good.
Thanks.
