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.
