[PATCH] commit: silence git-gc if --quiet is given

[Abhishek Kumar]

As reported by Perrick [1], commit does not propagate quiet behavior to
gc if present. While we are at it, convert argv_gc_auto to struct argv_array.

According to the source you cite, this sort of issue has come up
before in a different context (git-fetch). Do we know if there are
other commands which invoke git-gc which might also suffer the same
issue? It would be nice for the commit message to say something about
this... for instance, that git-commit is the final command which needs
this fix or, if not, which additional commands are likely to need the
same treatment.

I just wrote my analysis to the original thread.  It looks to me a
fairly low-hanging fruit.
