Probably shouldn't have mentioned that. SZEDER I think had more issues with the "that's not GC" parts of what git-gc is doing, so I'll let him chime in. I'm working on a more general update to gc.c which might bring it more in the "not really GC anymore" direction. But this patch is just describing the status quo, so I think it should be uncontroversial to merge it, or at least we can have the discussion about what we should do in a different venue than a doc fixup for accurately describing what we're doing now. Another topic: As noted in <20181010193235.17359-1-ava...@gmail.com> and this follow-up https://public-inbox.org/git/87h8hsexdm....@evledraar.gmail.com/ it would be great if you could pick up the "gc: remove redundant check for gc_auto_threshold" patch. A small change that makes later refactoring a tiny bit smaller and easier to understand.
