[PATCH] gc: remove trailing dot from "gc.log" line

["Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason" <avarab@gmail.com>]

Remove the trailing dot from the warning we emit about gc.log. It's
common for various terminal UX's to allow the user to select "words",
and by including the trailing dot a user wanting to select the path to
gc.log will need to manually remove the trailing dot.

Such a user would also probably need to adjust the path if it e.g. had
spaces in it, but this should address this very common case.

Yes that's annoying, here's a proposed patch to fix this.

As an aside I've also noticed that if you have multiple worktrees
we'll trigger "git gc --auto" in each one, and then litter various
per-worktree gc.log, even though the issues being noted are usually
repository-global, e.g. too many loose objects.

That's per-se unrelated to the issue you're noting, but is usually why
I end up having to manually remove gc.log files...
