Maybe just make "-d" work? I.e. "git repack -a -d" repacks and prunes
everything, and "git repack -d" prunes just what was packed
incrementally.
Something like this:

diff --git a/git-repack.sh b/git-repack.sh
index 3d6fec1..be6c7ab 100755

Your suggestion has merit, though it's different from the behaviour I
desired. I _sometimes_ need the pruning, and it felt appropriate to make
it an option as opposed to default behaviour.

What do you think?

I think that my patch didn't change the default. git-prune-packed is called
only if -d is given, which is not the default.

I am inclined to say I prefer Alex' one.
