From: ZheNing Hu <adlternative@xxxxxxxxx> The original `git gc --prune=now` attempted to delete all unreachable objects. However, after the introduction of `--cruft` and `--expire-to=<dir>` in git gc, `--prune=now` can now compress unreachable objects into a cruft pack and store them in the specified <dir> instead of deleting them directly. This is beneficial for recovery in case of data corruption during repository GC. Therefore, update the handling logic of `--prune=now` in gc so that `-a` parameter is only passed to the repack command when neither `--cruft` nor `--expire-to` are used.
