git-gc executes many sub-commands. The argument list for
some of these is constant, but for others we add more
arguments at runtime. The latter is implemented by allocating
a constant extra number of NULLs, and either using a custom
append function, or just referencing unused slots by number.
As of commit 7e52f56, which added two new arguments, it is
possible to exceed the constant number of slots for "repack"
by running "git gc --aggressive", causing "git gc" to die.
This patch converts all of the static argv lists to use
argv-array. In addition to fixing the overflow caused by
7e52f56, it has a few advantages:
1. We can drop the custom append function (which,
incidentally, had an off-by-one error exacerbating the
static limit).
2. We can drop the ugly magic numbers used when adding
arguments to "prune".
3. Adding further arguments will be easier; you can just
add new "push" calls without worrying about increasing
any static limits.

When we pack everything into one big pack with "git repack
-Ad", any unreferenced objects in to-be-deleted packs are
exploded into loose objects, with the intent that they will
be examined and possibly cleaned up by the next run of "git
prune".
Since the exploded objects will receive the mtime of the
pack from which they come, if the source pack is old, those
loose objects will end up pruned immediately. In that case,
it is much more efficient to skip the exploding step
entirely for these objects.
This patch teaches pack-objects to receive the expiration
information and avoid writing these objects out. It also
teaches "git gc" to pass the value of gc.pruneexpire to
repack (which in turn learns to pass it along to
pack-objects) so that this optimization happens
automatically during "git gc" and "git gc --auto".

Given a request for command-line usage information rather than some
more substantial action, the only friendly thing to do is to report
the usage information as soon as possible and exit.
Without this change, as "git gc" glances over the repository, it can
be distracted by the desire to report a malformed configuration file.
Noticed while working through reports from Duy's repository access
checker.

This shrinks the top-level directory a bit, and makes it much more
pleasant to use auto-completion on the thing. Instead of
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab>
Display all 180 possibilities? (y or n)
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-sh
builtin-shortlog.c builtin-show-branch.c builtin-show-ref.c
builtin-shortlog.o builtin-show-branch.o builtin-show-ref.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shor<tab>
builtin-shortlog.c builtin-shortlog.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shortlog.c
you get
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab> [type]
builtin/ builtin.h
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin [auto-completes to]
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sh<tab> [type]
shortlog.c shortlog.o show-branch.c show-branch.o show-ref.c show-ref.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sho [auto-completes to]
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shor<tab> [type]
shortlog.c shortlog.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shortlog.c
which doesn't seem all that different, but not having that annoying
break in "Display all 180 possibilities?" is quite a relief.
NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an
editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you
won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it
will just show the choices instead. I think bash has some cut-off
around 100 choices or something.
So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus
don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion. But you can
simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar.
