It might strike a newbie as dangerous to read "prune them" here. Maybe ... `git gc --auto` will pack the loose objects. Some Porcelain commands use this command, to do a light weight garbage collection from time to time. + *Note*: you should still run "git gc" from time to time, since the "--auto" option is designed to be fast, whereas "git gc" _without_ auto is designed to create small packs. Hmm? (I think that this is the most visible part of the --auto business, so I would document the "git gc" note here...)
