That's not a request.  I was just wondering aloud.

If you took inspiration from my thinking aloud, that is wonderful, but the actual work to ensure it is not an idea that horribly breaks some underlying assumption I didn't know about in the code and deciding it is a good idea to do so is all done by you, so please take the credit due.

Hmph.  
There is a call to prepare_repo_settings() in cmd_gc().

I have to wonder if it should be done much earlier and in a more central place, perhaps in cmd_maintenance() before anything else happens. Even though commit-graph may feel somewhat special only because it is relatively new, it is not hard to imagine that other maintenance tasks (both older ones and future ones) would eventually want to have similar access to the feature settings.

It is OK to keep "the maintenance command works only in the single repository", and not passing a "repo" that cmd_maintenance() would prepare by calling prepare_repo_settings() down in the callchain, at least right now, but we might want to consider doing so in the future.

Thanks.
