Merge branch 'jk/reduce-gc-aggressive-depth' into maint
"git gc --aggressive" used to limit the delta-chain length to 250, which is way too deep for gaining additional space savings and is detrimental for runtime performance. The limit has been reduced to 50. * jk/reduce-gc-aggressive-depth: gc: default aggressive depth to 50
