git-gc uses a "safe" pruning mode, where it only prunes unreferenced
objects that are older than a certain period (this makes it safe to run
git-gc, even if other processes are creating objects at the same time).

So try

[gc]
        pruneExpire = now

Alternatively, you can just run 'git prune' manually instead of 'git
gc'.

I also tried 'git-pack-refs --all' or 'git-pack-refs --prune' but to no  
avail.

Those won't help at all; they are purely about moving refs from
individual files into the 'packed-refs' file.
