Housekeeping jobs like auto gc generally should not get in the way.
Users who are pushing may not want to wait until auto gc is done on
the server. Give a hint for those users that it's safe now to break
"git push" and stop waiting.

 This bandage patch may be a good compromise between running auto gc
 and not annoying users much.
 
 If I'm not mistaken, when ^C on "git push" this way, gc will still be
 running until it needs to print something out (which it should not
 normally because of --quiet). The user won't see gc errors, but the
 user generally can't do much anyway.
