Subject: [PATCH v4 3/7] gc: refactor a "call me once" pattern

From: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 28 Mar 2019 17:14:30 +0100

Change an idiom we're using to ensure that gc_before_repack() only
does work once (see 62aad1849f ("gc --auto: do not lock refs in the
background", 2014-05-25)) to be more obvious.

Nothing except this function cares about the "pack_refs" and
"prune_reflogs" variables, so let's not leave the reader wondering if
they're being zero'd out for later use somewhere else.
