Wait.  Does that mean that:

$ git-checkout -b playground
$ work work work
$ git-commit -m 'snapshot'
$ git-checkout -b master
$ git-repack -a -d

means that even if I do

$ git-branch -d playground
$ git-repack -a -d

I still have the commit from playground as objects inside my one big pack?

Ick.  How do I make that go away?
