Ok, mystery solved.
The problem was that the repository had been imported using git-svn and contained something like 86000 reflog entries in .git/logs/refs/remotes/pre/trunk.
Using the debugger I have seen that the loop was not endless... but very slow as there was many many reflog to process. Don't know if this is expected or not though.
To fix that I have launched:
$ git-reflog expire --expire=10 --all
It has removed all the old reflogs dating from the git-svn initial import lowering the number of enties in .git/logs/refs/remotes/pre/trunk to 0 :)
git gc is now working like a charm!
Pascal.
