Isn't the whole purpose of git-gc to make it _unnecessary_ to know which
lowlevel commands are run?
NACK.
I think of it as a handy way of doing all those tasks in the correct order

I kinda like it, and it might be helpful if someone's got a large repo and
one part of gc for some reason didn't complete so they want to start at
whatever step it broke off on.
When gc was a shell-script, it was fairly easy to find out the command-
sequence. Now it's a built-in and that deduction actually takes some
time and brainpower, so...
