I'm wrong. It's more about the gc.pid update code, which should record
the running pid (i.e. after fork), so I can't really move
lock_repo_for_gc() code to the parent process. If we just peek ahead
in gc.pid to see if any gc is already running, there's a chance that a
new gc will start after the check, and before we update gc.pid. So
still false messages.

If we do not use daemonized() then it's possible. Though
NO_POSIX_GOODIES is now sprinkled in more places.
