Odd. On one of my repos, I was seeing the correct behavior. On another, there were multiple packs left after doing the 'git repack -a -d'. Were there ever some packing bugs in older versions of git that would have maybe produced some packs that wouldn't get deleted or something?

At any rate, the above command does seem to do exactly what I want. Thanks for the help.
