Oh, wow.  And sure, i have my clone now!
--aggressive gc is heavyweight, and tags "introduce heads" which
enlargens the synchronization list.  At the beginning i wondered
when repo.or.cz synchronizes the git repo with my master, my
s-roff clone (or that code which lies around unloved) is bigger
(especially once i added the repo.or.cz clones), but only requires
3118 bytes, whereas the mailer takes 49526.  Still not that much,
and at sometime i read they want to introduce a new protocol to
improve that.  I don't want to know what the Linux kernel or the
FreeBSD repo takes...

It is great you have found the time to do it, for sure!

 |Huh? Why would it?

Well i thought because of the subject!  Was really surprised it
came back in.
Ciao, Matthias!
