git-prune-packed (which, contrary to what Shawn said, is run by
git-repack -d) will only remove objects which are redundant because of
their presence in packs. It will not remove objects which are not
reachable (which is normal if you have, for example, done a rebase in
this repository). Check out git-prune and git-fsck-objects.
