We have a good default for pruning of empty commits and degenerate merge
commits: only pruning such commits that didn't start out that way (i.e.
that couldn't intentionally have been empty or degenerate). However,
users may have reasons to want to aggressively prune such commits (maybe
they used BFG repo filter or filter-branch previously and have lots of
cruft commits that they want remoed), and we may as well allow them to
specify that they don't want pruning too, just to be flexible.
