Bug Description
I have just been testing the brisbane core format and branching a single new branch locally into another repository left a significant amount of obsolete packs. Now reading bug 304320 seems to indicate that it is undesirable to remove these pack files as part of the command implementation.
How about a new command to clean up the repository?
I checked my other repository that contained the branch that I was branching from, and I noticed 101M of obsolete packs, and 60M in the upload directory. Now I know that nothing is going on on that machine either uploading to it nor pushing from it. However I don't know when is a "safe" time to remove code from these directories, but I do know that they are not giving a favourable size comparison against other DVCSs.

Making this a separate command rather than an option to pack doesn't make any difference. Let's just add the option as in bug 304320
