clean-cg? But failure to run "git repack -a -d" every once in a while?

Actually, the best command is

git gc

which does a repack (into a single pack file rather than an incremenal), and then removes all the objects now in the pack. If, like me, you work on temporary branches which you keep rebasing, you can add a --prune to gc which will erase all unreferenced objects as it packs (use this one with care. I usually never use it but run a git prune -n just to see what would be removed, and then run git prune separately if it looks OK).

Thanks for the comment. That managed to indeed shave a few extra bytes off my already "repack -a -d" packed repo still.
