I also tried git-prune-packed, which also did nothing AFAICT.

It didn't exist when I started using git.  I normally don't use 
git-prune either, but in this case I was just scanning for problems
after switching from cg-update to git-pull.

git-gc did get rid of all the danglers even though git-prune didn't.
I'll do some investigating to find out why -- that should get me more
up to date with recent changes.

Thanks for your help.
