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?

I don't have a strong opinion about the technical aspects of this patch
(nor sufficient knowledge to review it)[0], but I noticed that there's a
couple of places, this line among them, which are unexpectedly wrapped,
so I don't believe this patch will actually apply.  I noticed that the
email didn't specify an MUA header (or I missed it), so I can't make a
suggestion on how to fix your MUA, but you may want to use `git
send-email` to avoid this problem in the future.

[0] In other words, no need to CC me on a resend.

Oops, my sincere apologies to everyone. I'll resend once again.

(I messed up by not realizing that KMail will re-enable line wrapping when re-
sending my original message, which was formatted correctly.)
