Perhaps the man pages for the lower level commands should reference
git-gc as the command that - unless you have special circumstances -
you probably want. As a new git user it was only reading this thread
that made me realise that git-gc is the command I want most of the
time - a number of the tutorials I had read referenced the low level
commands, and I didn't realise they had been superseded for normal
use.
