The documentation for git-prune was lacking descriptions of the head arguments and the -- option. +<head>...:: + The heads to look for unreachable objects in. This is + relative to $GIT_DIR (e.g., "HEAD", "refs/heads/master"). + When unspecified, all heads are updated to match the + remote repository.

? updated to match???
Come to think of it, why would anybody want to pass heads explicitly? It seems to me that it would allow you to _lose_ objects referenced only from omitted branches...
Sorry. I have no idea why I pasted in that description. How about:
<head>...::
A head to use for an unreachability trace.
(This mimics the description of <object> in git-fsck-objects.)
