git-gui: disable the "loose objects popup" dialog?

Hi,


Every once in a while, I get the "This repository currently has
approximately (some number) loose objects." popup dialog.

I don't want to sound arrogant, but I find this popup along with the
dialog showing after that prints the result of the compression,
immensely annoying. And I've seen people mention before that they
would, in some casese, rather not have to deal with the dialog[0].

I get that git-gui merely wants to resolve a performance issue. But
personally I'd prefer if git could just assume I always wanted to
compress the database, and automatically do it without bugging me with
the popups.

I propose we implement the following options in git-gui:
- ignore loose objects (do not show the popup), disabled by default.
- automatically, silently compress the database, without prompt. Also
disabled by default.


Thoughts?
