I read over the thread again. I don't think I actually have any complaints about the patches as-is. There was some discussion from Junio and Ævar about the third one. I don't have a strong opinion. My experience has been that "gc --auto" is garbage anyway on the server side, but I think Ævar's experience is that it's reasonable for small to medium sites (which seems plausible to me). The message-id quoted there is my "this looks good". I mentioned a few possible nits, but I think it would be OK with or without them addressed. -Peff
