leaves behind, but `git fsck --full` shows as
dangling.
-A::
Same as `-a`, but any unreachable objects in a previous
pack become loose, unpacked objects, instead of being
left in the old pack. Unreachable objects are never
intentionally added to a pack, even when repacking.
When used with '-d', this option
prevents unreachable objects from being immediately
deleted by way of being left in the old pack and then
removed. Instead, the loose unreachable objects
will be pruned according to normal expiry rules
with the next linkgit:git-gc[1].
-d::
After packing, if the newly created packs make some
existing packs redundant, remove the redundant packs.
