Not sure whether the prompt script is external program or not, but doesn't
matter, this is the right thing to do.

I'm not sure, but if I remember correctly (don't have the means to check it at
the moment, sorry) in that commit I also added a 'git pack-ref' invocation to
the relevant test(s?) to guard us against breakages due to changes in 'git
pack-refs'. If that is so, then I think those invocations should be removed as
well, as they'll become useless.
Best,
