As part of our conversion to git 1.5, I would like to ensure that our code repository does not get crufty and slow. Currently, I have a cron job that runs each morning that does a 'git repack -a -d'.

I know there is 'git-gc', and it appears to do all sorts of good things. Can I simply replace my call to 'git repack -d -a' with 'git gc', or is there anything else I might want to do?
