you-still-use-that??: help deprecating commands for removal
Commands slated for removal like "git pack-redundant" now require an explicit "--i-still-use-this" option to run. This is to discourage casual use and surface their pending deprecation to users. The warning message is long, so factor it into a helper function you_still_use_that() to simplify reuse by other commands. Also add a missing test to ensure this enforcement works for "pack-redundant". Helped-by: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com> [en: log message] Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
