Recommand git maintenance over git gc
git maintenance
is superior to git gc
(see GitHub's blog post).
aurweb isn't calling git gc
(AFAIU) but only recommending calling it in doc/git-interface.txt, so the recommendation should be updated.
Implementing this for aur.archlinux.org would require a few tweaks in the infrastructure repository (ex: aurweb-git.service.j2). Basically running git maintenance register
and creating some timers ourself or using git mainteance start
.
