repack: propagate pack-objects options as strings
In the original shell version of git-repack, any options destined for pack-objects were left as strings, and passed as a whole. Since the C rewrite in commit a1bbc6c0 (repack: rewrite the shell script in C, 2013-09-15), we now parse these values to integers internally, then reformat the integers when passing the option to pack-objects. This has the advantage that we catch format errors earlier (i.e., when repack is invoked, rather than when pack-objects is invoked). It has three disadvantages, though: 1. Our internal data types may not be the right size. In the case of "--window-memory" and "--max-pack-size", these are "unsigned long" in pack-objects, but we can only represent a regular "int". 2. Our parsing routines might not be the same as those of pack-objects. For the two options above, pack-objects understands "100m" to mean "100 megabytes", but repack does not. 3. We have to keep a sentinel value to know whether it is worth passing the option along. In the case of "--window-memory", we currently do not pass it if the value is "0". But that is a meaningful value to pack-objects, where it overrides any configured value. We can fix all of these by simply passing the strings from the user along to pack-objects verbatim. This does not actually fix anything for "--depth" or "--window", but these are converted, too, for consistency.
