Subject: [PATCH] git-am: Run git gc only once and not for every patch.

From: Michael Stefaniuc <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 4 Jan 2008 19:59:26 +0100

With "too many unreachable loose objects" git gc --auto will always
trigger. This clutters the output of git am and thus git rebase.

The work flow of the Wine project doesn't include git merge. git rebase
is therefor used to track the origin. This will produce soon too many
loose objects for git gc --auto's taste. Pruning the repository would
"fix" it. But we tell Wine developers new to git to NOT prune as long as
they aren't confident enough with git; just as a safety net in case they
have thrown away month of work.
