Documentation/BreakingChanges: announce removal of git-pack-redundant(1)
The git-pack-redundant(1) command is already in the process of being
phased out and dies unless the user passes the `--i-still-use-this` flag
since 4406522b76 (pack-redundant: escalate deprecation warning to an
error, 2023-03-23). We haven't heard any complaints, so let's announce
the removal of this command in Git 3.0 in our breaking changes document.

| * The git-pack-redundant(1) command can be used to remove redundant pack files. | ||||
|   The subcommand is unusably slow and the reason why nobody reports it as a | ||||
|   performance bug is suspected to be the absense of users. We have nominated | ||||
|   the command for removal and have started to emit a user-visible warning in | ||||
|   c3b58472be (pack-redundant: gauge the usage before proposing its removal, | ||||
|   2020-08-25) whenever the command is executed. | ||||
| + | ||||
| So far there was a single complaint about somebody still using the command, but | ||||
| that complaint did not cause us to reverse course. On the contrary, we have | ||||
| doubled down on the deprecation and starting with 4406522b76 (pack-redundant: | ||||
| escalate deprecation warning to an error, 2023-03-23), the command dies unless | ||||
| the user passes the `--i-still-use-this` option. | ||||
| + | ||||
| There have not been any subsequent complaints, so this command will finally be | ||||
| removed. | ||||
