Perhaps _exiting_ "git-commit" and "git-fetch" before doing
anything, when the repository has more than 5000 loose objects

good?

I really do not like the idea of automatically running a repack
after first interrupting the original command and then resuming.
For one thing it would make a horribly difficult situation to
debug if anything goes wrong.  You cannot reproduce such a
situation easily.

I would strongly oppose any *automatic* repacking and strongly support any *advisory* recommandation to repack when the loose object count exceeds a certain threshold. I don't think *exiting* a command in such cases is a good idea; worse than automatic repacking this would be *forced* manual repacking, which isn't very user-friendly.

Cheers,
Wincent
