[PATCH] Improve git-prune -n output

prune_object() in show_only mode would previously just show the path to the object that would be deleted. The path the object is stored in shouldn't be shown to users, they only know about sha1 identifiers so show that instead.

Further, the sha1 alone isn't that useful for examining what is going to be deleted. This patch also adds the object type to the output, which makes it easy to pick out, say, the commits and use git-show to display them.

List members and git users, 
	if you are using "prune -n" output in your scripts, this
change could cause those scripts to break; so please holler.

I am inclined to take this output format change, so if you are going to holler please do so fast.
