I'm not sure telling the users how to disable it every time it shows up is a good idea. gc --auto exists for the naive user, and suggesting they turn it off each time it happens will just result in... people turning it off, leading back to the performance issues that caused the feature to be installed in the first place. Perhaps a message more along the lines of "To avoid this, run "git gc" manually on a regular basis. See 'git help gc' for more information."
