Somewhat unrelated, but please think about it when you make
such a major change:

The latter two were always bugging me since they should better
be coupled with EVCS_OFFLINE:

IMHO, *whenever* the repository is modified (by fetching new data)
it should afterwards be repacked and pruned to save space if possible.
However, repacking and pruning of an unchanged repository
(in particular if EVCS_OFFLINE=1) makes no sense but only costs
unnecessary time and - even worse - touches/modifies files which is
bad for COW filesystems or other sorts of backups (which are
useful for the git sources directory in case upstream makes a
serious rebase).
