There's indeed a real idea behind that. The issue is that the alias
shouldn't be just "gc", but "find-all-repositories-and-do-gc-there".

Currently, AFAIK, that can only be done with a (trivial) script
external to git. I suppose this can easily be added to the core git
porcelain. Perhaps a "git gc --recursive" would do.

It doesn't solve the problem, but makes it easier to solve it (git gc
--recursive in cron for example).
