If you use ssh to push your changes (that is, you are not copying

only applies
to your local repository.

Ah, this is good to know. Yes, I do principally publish by pushing to  
a central repo, but I wanted to really destroy the objects just in  
case in the future I or somebody else ever clones my local repo.

The simplest thing you could do is remove the reflog for HEAD and
refs/heads/master respectively your current branch and run 'git prune'
afterwards (if you have not repacked
already, otherwise you'd need to run 'git repack -a -d' or 'git gc'  
to get
rid of blobs inside your packfile.

Thanks very much, Matthias. Blowing away those reflogs and running  
git-prune worked and it's doesn't require too much fiddling.
