   IPython is unable to see what's possible as these options are generated on the fly.

   Thus invoking a_repo.git.gc() would be the idiomatic way to achieve that.

   Please feel free to keep commenting despite the issue being closed in case there is a follow up.

   Ah.
   Thanks!
   And that, presumably, is also why IPython TAB completion didn't complete to ". . . .gc", when I tried that.

   So what might the "split=true" be in yours? I did a string split in mine, because the execute command seemed to want an iterable (like from space-separated command line arguments, I presume), rather than a string. But with a_repo.git.gc . . . there would be no additional arguments.

   Great to hear. The argument was a mistake.
