  Okay, done, BTW here is the result for a manual run I did:

xmlsoft:~ -> git --git-dir /git/libvirt.git gc --aggressive 
Counting objects: 50594, done.
Delta compression using up to 2 threads.
Compressing objects: 100% (50455/50455), done.
Writing objects: 100% (50594/50594), done.
Total 50594 (delta 42525), reused 0 (delta 0)
xmlsoft:~ ->
