I have run git config --get-all gc.auto as you suggested on the repository in question. There is no output. For checking I have tried with another repo also no output.

Re: [git-users] gitgui on windows asks repeatedly to compress database
Well, problem solved! However, a bit differently than suggested. While looking for the syntax I have started by accident git gc for the repos in question. It ran for a short while. And the problem is no longer shown with git gui. So, my conclusion is that git gui doesn't do the same or at least not always. I have introduced the gc.auto setting after checking with git gui.
