+ Possible values for `<scheduler>` are `auto`, `crontab` (POSIX),

Depending on the system, different schedulers can be used to schedule the hourly, daily and weekly executions of `git maintenance run`: * `launchctl` for MacOS, * `schtasks` for Windows and * `crontab` for everything else. `git maintenance run` now has an option to let the end-user explicitly choose which scheduler he wants to use: `--scheduler=auto|crontab|launchctl|schtasks`. When `git maintenance start --scheduler=XXX` is run, it not only registers `git maintenance run` tasks in the scheduler XXX, it also removes the `git maintenance run` tasks from all the other schedulers to ensure we cannot have two schedulers launching concurrent identical tasks. The default value is `auto` which chooses a suitable scheduler for the system. `git maintenance stop` doesn't have any `--scheduler` parameter because this command will try to remove the `git maintenance run` tasks from all the available schedulers.
