repack: modify behavior of -A option to leave unreferenced objects unpacked
The previous behavior of the -A option was to retain any previously
packed objects which had become unreferenced, and place them into the newly
created pack file. Since git-gc, when run automatically with the --auto
option, calls repack with the -A option, this had the effect of retaining
unreferenced packed objects indefinitely. To avoid this scenario, the
user was required to run git-gc with the little known --prune option or
to manually run repack with the -a option.
This patch changes the behavior of the -A option so that unreferenced
objects that exist in any pack file being replaced, will be unpacked into
the repository. The unreferenced loose objects can then be garbage collected
by git-gc (i.e. git-prune) based on the gc.pruneExpire setting.
Also add new tests for checking whether unreferenced objects which were
previously packed are properly left in the repository unpacked after
repacking.
