Subject: dgit: Turn gc.auto off in our hidden working tree setups
X-Git-Tag: archive/debian/2.0~139
X-Git-Url: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/ucgi/~ianmdlvl/git?a=commitdiff_plain;h=64d159f5dd06cbe512cfb534a8391d691b30ec6c;p=dgit.git

dgit: Turn gc.auto off in our hidden working tree setups

This avoids potential accidents: git gc --auto might otherwise run and
do very undesirable things to the user's working tree.  (I haven't
been able to trigger such a situation deliberately and none has been
reported, luckily...)
