[PATCH] make git-prune-script actually work

From: James Bottomley <james.bottomley@steeleye.com>

I find this script very useful to get back to where I started from after test merges, and also for cloning trees from a non-current base. The functionality is altered so it now takes an optional commit argument (and a -q flag to make it be quiet).
