While git-config(1) has been updated to represent the new default value, git-gc(1) still mentions the old value. This patch fixes it.

(I also grepped for "250" in Documentation; the results are thankfully short, and the only other mentions I saw were referring to the window size). -Peff ``` ## Junio C Hamano, 2017-02-24 17:49 Subject: Re: [PATCH] docs/git-gc: fix default value for `--aggressiveDepth` Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/xmqqwpcf4gz1.fsf%40gitster.mtv.corp.google.com In-Reply-To: <20170224090035.ju7evvro7mixc52w@sigill.intra.peff.net> ``` Jeff King writes: > On Fri, Feb 24, 2017 at 09:46:45AM +0100, Patrick Steinhardt wrote: > >> In commit 07e7dbf0d (gc: default aggressive depth to 50, 2016-08-11), >> the default aggressive depth of git-gc has been changed to 50.
