If pruning loses data it shouldn't be enabled by default in all
checkouts, e.g. if a branch is accidentally deleted by someone else then
simply fetching shouldn't propagate that deletion for others.  So IMO
the developer should decide when and how to enable this.  (Unless I've
misunderstood something.)
