Hello,

first time posting here, I hope I'm doing it right. I'd like to suggest a very minor UX improvement regarding the message:

error: The last gc run reported the following. Please correct the root cause and remove /path/to/repo/.git/gc.log.

Currently, there is a dot after the file path, so it's impossible to select just the path using double-click. If the dot was removed, or separated from the path by a space, it would be slightly more convenient :-)

Thank you
Jan Judas
