You don't get it. I did gc.auto 0. And know some other limit crops up, I
have to do gc.autopacklimit 0. I have LOTS of git trees. On many
machines. It's just annoying, period.

I just don't buy that, I have more faith in users. If they come around
and complain it's slow, heck you told them it would be.
But it's not a big deal, I'll just carry a local patch that disables
this crap and forget the whole deal. I just worry that if this is where
git 'usability' is heading, it wont be a good thing in the long run.
