[PATCH v2 0/2] gc: add --expire-to option

["ZheNing Hu via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

I want to perform a "safe" garbage collection for the Git repository on the
server, which avoids data corruption issues caused by concurrent pushes
during git GC. To achieve this, I currently need to use git repack --cruft
--expire-to=<dir> and git prune in combination. However, it would be simpler
if we could directly use --expire-to=<dir> with the git-gc command.

ZheNing Hu (2):
  gc: add `--expire-to` option
  fix(gc): make --prune=now compatible with --expire-to
