I don't have any strong opinion about this. At GitHub we run pack-refs as part of a maintenance-like job, which varies in frequency between different repositories based on a number of factors. In our busiest repository networks, this is almost certainly at least a few times a day, if not "as often as possible." I'd suspect that for any laptop-sized repository, anywhere between daily and weekly is just fine. I suppose weekly is a good starting point, since we can always change the default to run more often if enough users complain. > My hope is that this patch series could be used as an example for further > extracting tasks out of the gc task and making them be full maintenance > tasks.
