Aborting: Refusing to destructively overwrite repo history since
this does not look like a fresh clone.
  (expected freshly packed repo)
Please operate on a fresh clone instead.  If you want to proceed
anyway, use --force.

Ahem... Thanks for catching me in the rye, but i did specify --dry-run exactly too keep myself from harm.

And also, --force --dry-run looks plain silly :-)
