+--aggressive::
+	Usually 'git-gc' runs very quickly while providing good disk
+	space utilization and performance.   This option will cause
+	git-gc to more aggressive optimize the repository at the expense
+	of taking much more time.  The effects of this optimization are

 is not run in bare repositories by default, to allow older dumb-transport
 clients fetch from the repository,  but this will change in the future.
 
+The optional configuration variable 'gc.aggressiveWindow' controls how
+much time is spent optimizing the delta compression of the objects in
+the repository when the --aggressive option is specified.  The larger
+the value, the more time is spent optimizing the delta compression.  See
+the documentation for the --window' option in gitlink:git-repack[1] for
+more details.  This defaults to 10.
