This can avoid rare races between gc removing pack files and other concurrent operations. If this option is false data loss can occur in rare cases when an object is believed to be unreferenced when object repacking is running, and then garbage collection deletes it while another concurrent operation references this object shortly before garbage collection deletes it. When this happens, a new reference is created which points to a now missing object. | +| `pack.prunePreserved` | `false` | ⃞ | Whether to prune preserved pack files from the previous run of gc from the `objects/pack/preserved` directory.
