The '--geometric=<n>' argument specifies that each pack must contain at
least 'n' times as many objects as the size of the next-largest pack.
The factor 'n' is customizable, but setting it to '2' is a sane default.
Instead of making the factor a required argument, make the argument
optional with a default value of '2'.
To ensure that the option is setup correctly, modify the most complex
test of t7703 to drop the explicit factor.

`git repack` ensures this by determining a "cut" of packfiles that need
to be repacked into one in order to ensure a geometric progression. It
