doc/git-repack: don't mention nonexistent "--unpacked" option

Browse Source 
The documentation for geometric repacking mentions a "--unpacked" option

never existed, and the implied behaviour, namely to include all unpacked
objects into the resulting packfile, is in fact the default behaviour.

Correct the documentation to not mention this option.

When `--unpacked` is specified, loose objects are implicitly included in

to change in the future. This option (implying a drastically different
repack mode) is not guaranteed to work with all other combinations of
