I don't know if that works.  If it does, it is something 
that will likely be missed by most users.  I would consider 
having to edit this (or any) file to disable auto-gc a 
serious regression in Gerrit.  Running auto-gc in Gerrit is 
very inappropriate since it bypasses thread controls and 
does not use Gerrit's executors, it should be disabled by 
default, and not left enabled to potentially trip up 
unsuspecting users,
