From 9f673f9477c63433aa0774c11b9e42979721f4d6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Nguy=E1=BB=85n=20Th=C3=A1i=20Ng=E1=BB=8Dc=20Duy?= Date: Sat, 8 Feb 2014 14:08:52 +0700 Subject: gc: config option for running --auto in background MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit `gc --auto` takes time and can block the user temporarily (but not any less annoyingly). Make it run in background on systems that support it. The only thing lost with running in background is printouts. But gc output is not really interesting. You can keep it in foreground by changing gc.autodetach.
