This originally came from Frank Sorenson, but with a bit of rework to
allow future enhancements without changing the external interface for
pack pruning part.
With the '-a' option, all objects in the current repository are packed
into a single pack. When the '-d' option is given at the same time,
existing packs that were made redundant by this round of repacking are
deleted.
Since we currently have only two repacking strategies, one with '-a'
(everything into one) and the other without '-a' (incrementally pack
only the unpacked ones), the '-d' option is meaningful only when used
with '-a'; it removes the packs existed before we did the "everything
into one" repacking. At least for now.

Pulling from a packed repository over dumb transport without the
server info file fails, so run update-server-info automatically
after a repack by default. This can be disabled with the '-n'
flag.

It sets up the normal git environment variables and a few helper
functions (currently just "die()"), and returns ok if it all looks like
a git archive. So use it something like
. git-sh-setup-script || die "Not a git archive"
to make the rest of the git scripts more careful and readable.
This means that the .git/objects/pack directory is also rsync'able,
since the filenames created there-in are either unique or refer to the
same data.
Otherwise you might not be able to pull from a directory that is partly
packed without having to worry about missing objects due to pack-file
name clashes.
