Tom,
6 inches put down in the fall should be composted to a couple inches by now and if your soil dries out rather fast what leaves remain will help keep soil moist. I'd go by feel. I mean reach down under the leaves now and in late spring and see what's going on with your garlic. If wet and shoots look bad, remove leaves, if not leave in place.

I always mulch mine with grass clippings as soon as I start cutting grass.
