Lots of loose objects

["David Kågedal" <davidk@lysator.liu.se>]

I hade a tree that made git-gui complain that I had too many loose
objects every time I started it (3072 to be precise).  Letting git-gui
compress it for me didn't help.  Neither did git-gc, even with the
--aggressive flag.

I noticed that I had a lot of loose files in .git/objects, and
suddenly I remembered that there was a command called "git
prune". Finally I was able to get rid of those loose objects.

The problem here is probably mostly that I couldn't get any help from
git-gui or git-gc.  git-gui claimed it would fix the problem for me,
but failed.  git-gc didn't mention that it left a bunch of files
untouched.
