Subject: [PATCH] Remove warning that repack only works on non-promisor packfiles

From: Tao Klerks <[email-masked]>

The git-repack doc clearly states that it *does* operate on promisor
packfiles (in a separate partition), with "-a" specified. Presumably
the statements here are outdated, as they feature from the first doc
in 2017 (and the repack support was added in 2018)
