git-repack currently does not pass --keep-pack or --honor-pack-keep to
the git-pack-objects handling promisor packs. This means that settings
like gc.bigPackThreshold are completely ignored for promisor packs.

The simple fix is to just copy the keep-pack logic into
repack_promisor_objects(), although this could possibly be improved by
making prepare_pack_objects() handle it instead.

RFC: This probably needs a test, but where and how should it be
implemented? Perhaps in t7700-repack.sh, copying one of the tests using
prepare_for_keep_packs and just touching .promisor files? Or instead in
t/t0410-partial-clone.sh using a copy/variant of one of the basic 
repack tests there?
