Re: [PATCH] Improve git-prune -n output

> prune_object() in show_only mode would previously just show the path to the
> object that would be deleted.  The path the object is stored in shouldn't be
> shown to users, they only know about sha1 identifiers so show that instead.
> 
> Further, the sha1 alone isn't that useful for examining what is going to be
> deleted.  This patch also adds the object type to the output, which makes it
> easy to pick out, say, the commits and use git-show to display them.
