Most .keep files are not meant to be removed by git-gc. Usually, .keep files are only created interactively (if you _want_ to keep a pack, e.g. when it has been optimally packed and is big), or by git-index-pack while it is writing a pack (IIRC). So I think it would be wrong for "gc --aggressive" to remove the .keep files.
