gc.packrefs
git gc does not run git pack\-refs in a bare repository by default so that older dumb\-transport clients can still fetch from the repository. Setting this to true lets git gc to run git pack\-refs. Setting this to false tells git gc never to run git pack\-refs. The default setting is notbare. Enable it only when you know you do not have to support such clients. The default setting will change to true at some stage, and setting this to false will continue to prevent git pack\-refs from being run from git gc.
