Just a similar question: is there any reason not tu run git repack/prune-packed as cron job? I would think of something like this for every night:

- git prune-packed (remove objects packed last time)
- check how many objects git-count-objects counts, if it are not enough
  abort
- git repack

git repack -a -d is probably a bad idea, I guess, because a program could try to open them after they were deleted. Is there any way to delete unnecessary packs (those which would repack -a -d delete)? Making it possible to do a git repack -a and delete those packs the next night?
