Wait.  Does that mean that:

$ git-checkout -b playground
$ work work work
$ git-commit -m 'snapshot'
$ git-checkout -b master
$ git-repack -a -d

means that even if I do

$ git-branch -d playground
$ git-repack -a -d

I still have the commit from playground as objects inside my one big pack?

Repack retraces from all the available refs, so that is fine.

Pasky was talking about prune, which is a different animal.
