 'git gc' tries very hard not to delete objects that are referenced
-anywhere in your repository. In particular, it will keep not only
-objects referenced by your current set of branches and tags, but also
-objects referenced by the index, remote-tracking branches, notes saved
-by 'git notes' under refs/notes/, reflogs (which may reference commits
-in branches that were later amended or rewound), and anything else in
-the refs/* namespace.  If you are expecting some objects to be deleted
-and they aren't, check all of those locations and decide whether it
-makes sense in your case to remove those references.

 On the other hand, when 'git gc' runs concurrently with another process,
 there is a risk of it deleting an object that the other process is using
