This makes use of repack's new "-A" option which does not drop packed unreachable objects. This makes git-gc safe to call at any time, particularly when a repository is referenced as an alternate by another repository. git-gc --prune will use the "-a" option to repack instead of "-A", so that packed unreachable objects will be removed.
