Let 'git gc' show up when executing 'git' with no arguments.

hpa recently asked git tree owners on kernel.org to pack their trees. As I usually do not pack my local trees I started to look into man pages, executing git etc and came up with 'git repack -d -l -f' but was told the 'git gc' was the better way to do it. This patch makes it easier to identify the 'git gc' command.

While investigating this I noticed that all git commands are linked with help.o has the full set of commands. Seems a bit waste of space but I did not tackle that.
