The problem is that you don't know what is aggressive for this  
repository; that is relative to how it was previously packed.

I'd much rather change --aggressive to something like --rebuild, which  
describes much better what it does. However, I don't think it's easy  
to just rename a flag, as scripts may depend on it.
