The ability to "...fatten [the] local repository by packing everything that
is needed by the local ref into a single new pack, including things that are
borrowed from alternates"[1] is supposed to be provided by the '-a' or '-A'
options to repack when '-l' is not used, but there is a flaw. For each
pack in the local repository without a .keep file, repack supplies a
--unpacked=<pack> argument to pack-objects.
The --unpacked option to pack-objects, with or without an argument, causes
pack-objects to ignore any object which is packed in a pack not mentioned
in an argument to --unpacked=. So, if there are local packs, and
'repack -a' is called, then any objects which reside in packs accessible
through alternates will _not_ be packed. If there are no local packs, then
no --unpacked argument will be supplied, and repack will behave as expected.

Previously, when 'repack -a' was called and there were no packs in the local
repository without a .keep file, the repack would fall back to calling
pack-objects with '--unpacked --incremental'. This resulted in the created
pack file, if any, to be missing the packed objects in the alternate object
store. Test that this specific case has been fixed.

With this patch, --local means pack only local objects that are not already
packed.
Additionally, this fixes t7700 testing whether loose objects in an alternate
object database are repacked.

Loose objects residing in an alternate object database should not be packed
when the -l option to repack is used.

If the user created a .keep file for a local pack, then it can be inferred
that the user does not want those objects repacked.
This fixes the repack bug tested by t7700.

Objects residing in pack files that have an associated .keep file are not
supposed to be repacked into new pack files, but they are.
