builtin/repack.c: reword comment around pack-objects flags
The comment in this block is meant to indicate that passing '--all',
'--reflog', and so on aren't necessary when repacking with the
'--geometric' option.
But, it has two problems: first, it is factually incorrect ('--all' is
*not* incompatible with '--stdin-packs' as the comment suggests);
second, it is quite focused on the geometric case for a block that is
guarding against it.
Reword this comment to address both issues.
