[PATCH 1/2] t7700: demonstrate repack flaw which may loosen objects unnecessarily

[Brandon Casey]

If an unreferenced object exists in both a local pack and in either a pack
residing in an alternate object database or a local kept pack, then the
pack-objects call made by repack will loosen that object only to have it
immediately pruned by repack's call to prune-packed.
