What's the advantage in making git-gc a builtin command?  It's not
like it's going to help performance a whole lot (especially since
you're just forking separate processes to run git-prune,
git-pack-refs, et.al.), and as a shell script it's a lot easier to
explain to people what git-gc is actually doing, so there is
pedagogical value to keeping it as a shell script.
