I think there is logic somewhere in git gc or its minions that gives
expired objects that have been packed a two weeks extra life time as
loose objects.
That is, reachable loose objects are moved to a pack, but those objects
that were packed, but become unreachable due to expired reflogs, are
evicted from the pack and live for another two weeks or so as loose objects.
As a consequence of this, I always have a few thousand loose objects in
my busy repositories, no matter how often I collect garbage. Is there a
knob that removes the extra lease of life of objects without reducing
the usual expiration times of reflogs etc?
