`git gc` doesn't recognize `--filter=<...>` arguments, only `git
repack` is being teached to recognize it in this patch series. So I
don't see how there could be multiple such arguments on the command
line when `git gc` is used.
Also in version 4 `git repack` can be passed many such arguments
anyway. So I think we are good.
We could support multiple gc.repackFilter config options, but on the
other hand using something like
`combine:<filter1>+<filter2>+...<filterN>` should work, as the content
of the option is passed as-is to the command line. So we can leave
that improvement for later if people don't like the `combine:...` and
are interested in it.

I am not sure what should be spelled out. I think we refer people to
the `repack --filter=...` option which in turn refers to the `rev-list
--filter=...` which contains a good amount of documentation about how
`--filter=...` works, including the fact that `combine:...` can be
used and that multiple `--filter=...` options can be passed.

Other tests related to gc.reflogExpire above use a grep invocation
similar to this one, while `test_subcommand` isn't used in the test
script, so I think the grep invocation makes the whole script a bit
easier to understand.
Thanks.
