The `git prune` documentation says:
This runs git fsck --unreachable using all the refs
available in refs/, optionally with additional set of
objects specified on the command line, and prunes all
unpacked objects unreachable from any of these head
objects from the object database. In addition, it prunes
the unpacked objects that are also found in packs by
running git prune-packed.
Note that unreachable, packed objects will remain. If this
is not desired, see git-repack(1).
My interpretation of that is that `git prune` will not prune packed objects
by default. The following behavior seems inconsistent with that
interpretation.
[git@438587-beefcake01 panama.git]$ git prune -n | wc -l
9210
[git@438587-beefcake01 panama.git]$ git fsck --unreachable | wc -l
9468
[git@438587-beefcake01 panama.git]$ git gc --no-prune

[git@438587-beefcake01 panama.git]$ git prune -n | wc -l
9468
[git@438587-beefcake01 panama.git]$ git fsck --unreachable | wc -l
9468
It looks like `git prune -n` is telling me that it would prune the objects
that I just packed. What am I misunderstanding?
