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,

+1 (but again, this doesn't affect me personally)

any hint where in Gerrit the default jgit configuration could be tweaked ?
