This patch might be a good thing. But from ordinary user's point of view this raises questions: if gc --aggressive really is not that aggressive then the option itself is misleading. Why not change gc --aggressive to
be really effective? Using high --window/--depth value etc.

The problem is that you don't know what is aggressive for this repository; that is relative to how it was previously packed.

I'd much rather change --aggressive to something like --rebuild, which describes much better what it does. However, I don't think it's easy to just rename a flag, as scripts may depend on it.
