The number of loose objects at which git-gui shows a gc warning has historically been hardcoded to ~2000, or ~200 on Windows. The warning can only be disabled completely via gui.gcwarning=false. Especially on Windows, the hardcoded threshold is so ridiculously low that git-gui often complains even immediately after gc (due to loose objects only referenced by the reflog). 'git gc --auto' uses a much bigger threshold to check if gc is necessary. Additionally, the value can be configured via gc.auto (default 6700). There's no special case for Windows. Change git-gui so that it only warns if 'git gc --auto' would also do an automatic gc, i.e.: - calculate the threshold from the gc.auto setting (default 6700, disabled if <= 0) - check directory .git/objects/17 We still check four directories (14-17) if gc.auto is very small, to get a better estimate.
