Two weeks is a sensible default. Many people don't use their SCM every
day (really!). Say you'd work on something friday, mess up and go home,
it would be quite bad on monday morning to find that gc kicks in and
removes some objects you're trying to recover.
The only point is to reduce build-up over long periods,
so two weeks seems a perfectly fine cut-off.
