From: Tomáš Trnka <trnka@xxxxxxx>
git-repack currently does not pass --keep-pack or --honor-pack-keep to
the git-pack-objects handling promisor packs. This means that settings
like gc.bigPackThreshold are completely ignored for promisor packs.
The simple fix is to just skip keep packs when iterating promisor packs.

The original patch passes the --keep-pack arguments to pack-objects. While
this approach avoids repacking the keep packs, the objects in the keep
packs are still enumerated. These objects are iterated in repack and sent
to be packed, only to be skipped in pack-objects.
Filtering out the keep packs in repack_promisor_objects is more efficient,
the objects in keep packs are not enumerated and sent to pack-objects.
In a test repo with a 2.7G promisor pack. The original patch took longer to
repack the repo, most of the time was spent on enumerating objects.
The original patch:
$ time git repack -ad --keep-pack=pack-a26479ad4f9dff58448df6fca4953844009b3920.pack

I also noticed that this patch produced a smaller packfile.
1.6M compared to 4.5M generated by the original patch.
I suspect this is because some objects exist in multiple packs,
so pack-objects still repacks them even if they are actually present
in keep-packs.
