_Description: Automatically repack Git repositories?
Git repositories tend to grow quite large quickly, and need to be
repacked from time to time to save space and maintain performance
(by reducing overpopulation in the objects subdirectory). This can be
automated by use of a cron job.

Should the cron job be activated?

On what schedule should the cron job be started?

Please refer to crontab(5) for the format definition. If left empty the
default value "@monthly" will be used (without the quotes), executing
it during the night on the first of the month. (If the machine is likely
to be powered down, install anacron, which will run it close to this time.)
