+--prune::
+       Usually `git-gc` packs refs, expires old reflog entries,
+       packs loose objects,
+       and removes old 'rerere' records.  Removal
+       of unreferenced loose objects is an unsafe operation
+       while other git operations are in progress, so it is not
+       done by default.  Pass this option if you want it, and only
+       when you know nobody else is creating new objects in the
+       repository at the same time (e.g. never use this option
+       in a cron script).
