Checking gc_auto_threshold in too_many_loose_objects() was added in 17815501a8 ("git-gc --auto: run "repack -A -d -l" as necessary.", 2007-09-17) when need_to_gc() itself was also reliant on gc_auto_pack_limit before its early return: gc_auto_threshold <= 0 && gc_auto_pack_limit <= 0 When that check was simplified to just checking "gc_auto_threshold <= 0" in b14d255ba8 ("builtin-gc.c: allow disabling all auto-gc'ing by assigning 0 to gc.auto", 2008-03-19) this unreachable code should have been removed. We only call too_many_loose_objects() from within need_to_gc() itself, which will return if this condition holds, and in cmd_gc() which will return before ever getting to "auto_gc && too_many_loose_objects()" if "auto_gc && !need_to_gc()" is true earlier in the function.
