"There are too many unreachable loose objects" - why don't we run 'git prune' automatically?

Hi,

I recently ran into "There are too many unreachable loose objects; run 
'git prune' to remove them." after a "Auto packing the repository in 
background for optimum performance." message.

This was introduced with a087cc9 "git-gc --auto: protect ourselves from 
accumulated cruft" but I don't understand the commit message really.

Why don't we call 'git prune' automatically? I though Git would prune
unreachable objects after 90 days by default anyways. Is the warning 
about unreachable objects that are not yet 90 days old?

Thanks,
Lars
