Clarify repack -n documentation
While repacking a local repository a coworker thought the -n option was necessary to git-repack to keep it from updating some unknown file on the central server we all share. Explaining further what the option is (not) doing helps to make it clear the option does not impact any remote repositories the user may have configured. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.
