Always auto-gc after calling a fast-import transport
After importing anything with fast-import, we should always let the garbage collector do its job, since the objects are written to disk inefficiently. This brings down an initial import of http://selenic.com/hg from about 230 megabytes to about 14. In the future, we may want to make this configurable on a per-remote basis, or maybe teach fast-import about it in the first place. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <[email protected]>
