Christian Couder 9e1f0a85c6 documentation: move git(7) to git(1)
As the "git" man page describes the "git" command at the end-user
level, it seems better to move it to man section 1.

git-prune-packed(1)
=====================
NAME
----
git-prune-packed - Remove extra objects that are already in pack files
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-prune-packed' [-n] [-q]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
This program searches the `$GIT_OBJECT_DIR` for all objects that currently
exist in a pack file as well as the independent object directories.
All such extra objects are removed.
A pack is a collection of objects, individually compressed, with delta
compression applied, stored in a single file, with an associated index file.
Packs are used to reduce the load on mirror systems, backup engines,
disk storage, etc.
OPTIONS
-------
-n::
Don't actually remove any objects, only show those that would have been
removed.
-q::
Squelch the progress indicator.
