It will take some time but hopefully I'll have the stats for tomorrow.

I don't have any specific options set, so default values should be used.

I'm using git-svn though, so my workflow looks like this:
   git svn fetch + git svn rebase
   ... git operations like commit, cherry-pick, rebase ...
   git svn dcommit

Not sure if that matters. I remember that I've seen auto-gc being run
several times in the past - I think after svn fetch/rebase.

I'm also using git-new-workdir and have 2 extra workdirs.

Unfortunately it's not public. I can do some measuring if someone
tells me what to do.
