These ("git repack --cruft -d" and "git gc --cruft") do the same thing,
so this transformation makes sense.

It may be slightly clearer to refer to "objects" instead of "files",
perhaps like:

    # Write a cruft pack containing all unreachable objects

and then replace:

> +		# Ignore the cruft pack and delete every unreachable object.
>  		git gc --cruft --prune=now &&

with:

    # Prune all unreachable objects from the cruft pack

But I don't think the current wording is a problem, either, so feel free
to take or leave these suggestions.

Quoting from your original coverage report, this should take care of:

Taylor Blau     5b92477f builtin/gc.c: conditionally avoid pruning objects via loose
builtin/gc.c
5b92477f 337) strvec_push(&repack, "--cruft");
5b92477f 338) if (prune_expire)
5b92477f 339) strvec_pushf(&repack, "--cruft-expiration=%s", prune_expire);

so this patch looks good to me.

Thanks,
Taylor
