These patches teach Git to also repack promisor packfiles upon GC, which reduces one of the pain points of current partial clone usage (many promisor packfiles in the objects/pack/ directory, generated upon each fetch).

In the t/ tests, I strived to verify that repack doesn't accidentally delete any objects. Let me know if you can think of better ways to do that.

  repack: repack promisor objects if -a or -A is set
