A previous commit has implemented `git repack --filter=<filter-spec>` to allow users to filter out some objects from the main pack and move them into a new different pack. It would be nice if this new different pack could be created in a different directory than the regular pack. This would make it possible to move large blobs into a pack on a different kind of storage, for example cheaper storage. Even in a different directory, this pack can be accessible if, for example, the Git alternates mechanism is used to point to it. In fact not using the Git alternates mechanism can corrupt a repo as the generated pack containing the filtered objects might not be accessible from the repo any more. So setting up the Git alternates mechanism should be done before using this feature if the user wants the repo to be fully usable while this feature is used. In some cases, like when a repo has just been cloned or when there is no other activity in the repo, it's Ok to setup the Git alternates mechanism afterwards though. It's also Ok to just inspect the generated packfile containing the filtered objects and then just move it into the '.git/objects/pack/' directory manually. That's why it's not necessary for this command to check that the Git alternates mechanism has been already setup. While at it, as an example to show that `--filter` and `--filter-to` work well with other options, let's also add a test to check that these options work well with `--max-pack-size`.
