This patch series adds git-pack-intersect. It finds redundant packs
by calculating the union of all objects present in .git/objects/pack
and then computing the smallest set of packs which contain all the
objects in this union.

Sounds nice, except the name - it does something else than what the name
says, so perhaps something like 'git-pack-redundant' would be more
appropriate.

It would be better if it was in git-prune or a default action for 
git-repack. I can't imagine a scenario where keeping redundant packfiles 
is useful.
