thanks to Raphaël again.

git gc, nice hooks, branch tracking, ... all this is yours.

Now that git-gc is on alioth, as alioth has a gitserver (and hence provides a not dumb transport like http), please run git gc from time to time so that repositories keeps beeing small (hi XSF ;p)

FWIW I also will maintain git-core backports on bpo starting ... now.
