It's entirely possible that (after the 'maintenance' builtin stabilizes) that we make 'git gc --auto' become an alias of something like 'git maintenance run --task=gc --auto' (or itemize all of the sub-tasks) so that 'git gc --auto' doesn't change behavior. That's a big motivation for adding all code into builtin/gc.c so we can access these tasks inside GC without needing to move or copy the code. I'm trying to preserve history as much as possible.
