Also run 'git prune-packed' to remove redundant
loose object files.
+--cruft::
+ Same as `-a`, unless `-d` is used. Then any unreachable objects
+ are packed into a separate cruft pack. Unreachable objects can
+ be pruned using the normal expiry rules with the next `git gc`
+ invocation (see linkgit:git-gc[1]). Incompatible with `-k`.
+
+--cruft-expiration=<approxidate>::
+ Expire unreachable objects older than `<approxidate>`
+ immediately instead of waiting for the next `git gc` invocation.
+ Only useful with `--cruft -d`.
+
+--max-cruft-size=<n>::
+ Repack cruft objects into packs as large as `<n>` bytes before
+ creating new packs. As long as there are enough cruft packs
+ smaller than `<n>`, repacking will cause a new cruft pack to
+ be created containing objects from any combined cruft packs,
+ along with any new unreachable objects. Cruft packs larger than
+ `<n>` will not be modified. When the new cruft pack is larger
+ than `<n>` bytes, it will be split into multiple packs, all of
+ which are guaranteed to be at most `<n>` bytes in size. Only
+ useful with `--cruft -d`.
+
+--expire-to=<dir>::
+ Write a cruft pack containing pruned objects (if any) to the
+ directory `<dir>`. This option is useful for keeping a copy of
+ any pruned objects in a separate directory as a backup. Only
+ useful with `--cruft -d`.
+
