> As I recall the GC will only touch things that have been deleted for some time (a month?), that's a long time to correct accidental deletions. That is what I mean by second class citizen. The same logic doesn't apply to deleted files in a branch. If I delete a file it may not be accidental at all, and still I expect it to be accessible and not be considered 'orphaned', 'garbage' or similar. Why doesn't git throw away everything that is older than 90 days? (the default for gc)
