[PATCH] Remove warning that repack only works on non-promisor packfiles

Message-ID: <pull.968.git.1622634446643.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Tao Klerks <tao@klerks.biz>

The git-repack doc clearly states that it *does* operate on promisor packfiles (in a separate partition), with "-a" specified. Presumably the statements here are outdated, as they feature from the first doc in 2017 (and the repack support was added in 2018)
