Either usage string should be fixed, as it suggests that you can specify 
both --aggresive and --prune, or git-gc should.

I'm very sorry, my mistake: --aggresive instead of --aggressive.
Please disregard this message...

Now, for the cool thing: with the latest git, I get the following.

$ git gc --aggresive --prune 
error: unknown option `aggresive'       <----- this is what you wanted.
usage: git-gc [options]

    --prune               prune unreferenced objects
    --aggressive          be more thorough (increased runtime)
    --auto                enable auto-gc mode

$ _

Thanks, parse_options.[ch]!
