[PATCH] Invoke "git gc --auto" when a commit is successful.

[PATCH] Invoke "git gc --auto" when a commit is successful.

[David J. Mellor]

This functionality was added to the previous git-commit.sh script in d4bb43e,
but omitted when the script was ported to C in f5bbc32. This patch reinstates
the functionality by copying the equivalent code that was introduced in
builtin-merge.c in 1c7b76b.

I do not think situation has changed since the previous round:

Thanks for the pointer. I had searched the list before coding this up, 
but somehow had missed this thread.
