+--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).
+
+--aggressive::
+       Usually 'git-gc' runs very quickly while providing good disk
+       space utilization and performance.  This option will cause
+       git-gc to more aggressively optimize the repository at the expense
+       of taking much more time.  The effects of this optimization are
+       persistent, so this option only needs to be used occasionally; every
