I was looking for this earlier, as it could have been placed in either of
the previous two patches. I can understand not putting it in Patch 5
because then the default of 'git maintenance run --auto' would not
daemonize the gc subprocess. But it seems like patch 6 would also have
been fine. Here is good, too.

This && caught me by surprise, but it's really "if both of these config
options are unset, then set a default." Makes sense after thinking a bit
harder.

And this changes because it's the new default. You don't need config change
to the test repo to make this happen. Good.

I appreciate the care taken in these test cases. It verifies the logic around
the if statement that I had to read twice.
