Btw, this can output some scary-sounding "unreachable commit xxxxxx" 
messages or similar, without that actually necessarily being a problem at 
all. Unreachable objects are normal if you've deleted branches, for 
example, or if you rebase (or your upstream rebases, like the "pu" branch 
in the git archive). 

So if you just see a few unreachable objects, doing a "git prune" will get 
rid of them, and they aren't normally any sign of actual trouble.
