Ah, thanks, that explains everything.
I read the manpage for git-prune-unpacked, but I didn't manage to figure
it out. It may have helped if instead of saying:
git-prune-packed - Remove extra objects that are already in pack files
it would have said:
git-prune-packed - Remove loose objects that are already in pack files
^^^^^
By stating that those objects are "extra", we're losing the information
of where are they. And by reading that synopsis, one can already infer
they are "extra".
Cheers,
