I forgot to mention that the apps we use (gerrit and cgit) to host our git repos do read the repos directly from disk therefore I think that performing a gc on the repos would provide a performance improvement (CPU and memory utilization) to gerrit and cgit. It might be difficult to quantify how much of an improvement since both those apps do some cacheing of the repo data. Anyways I think there would be other benefits of `git gc` over `gerrit repack -adf` besides just recovering disk space. -Khai
