I admit that I am guessing here, but I was wondering if this paragraph from git help prune was a incorrect, it says:

  This runs git fsck --unreachable using all the refs 
  available in refs/, optionally with additional set of 
  objects specified on the command line, and prunes all 
  unpacked objects unreachable from any of these head  
  objects from the object database. In addition, it prunes
  the unpacked objects that are also found in packs by
  running git prune-packed.

The last sentence seems like it should maybe have the following fix:

s/it prunes the unpacked/it prunes the unreferenced/
