I presume that you are hinting that we would need to update
git-repack so that it is still useful without --all.

Which means "pack-objects --unpacked=active-pack" would need to
be pushed out so that git-repack can be updated to do the
"archived ones and repacking the active pack" we talked about
earlier.

I think pack-objects --unpacked=active-pack is ready, so I'll
push it out.
