I've been fighting the urge to do this myself for a few months now ;-)

$ git log -S--window -- git-repack.sh

    Allow "git repack" users to specify repacking window/depth
    
    .. but don't even bother documenting it. I don't think any normal person
    is supposed to ever really care, but it simplifies testing when you want
    to use the "git repack" wrapper rather than forcing you to use the core
    programs (which already do support the window/depth arguments, of course).

I will take your patch; I think it is useful to document this. Thanks.
