[JENKINS-13493] GitPlugin should garbage collect #2134
Description
The GitPlugin does not garbage collect automatically, thus doesn't optimize disk space utilization and good operating performance.
I have set up a build triggering a shell-script to do this every night, but don't you think it should be a feature of the GitPlugin?
