Only think I can think of here to reduce the number of pipelines is to remove the grep and cut and replace with awk.

Code:
ls | xargs file | awk -F: '/ASCII/{print $1}' | xargs something ...

Also an observation. This implementation ( | xargs something) is not "filename with a space" safe. You should use
Code:
xargs -I{} command {}

GIT-PACK-REDUNDANT(1)                                               Git Manual                                               GIT-PACK-REDUNDANT(1)

NAME
git-pack-redundant - Find redundant pack files SYNOPSIS
git pack-redundant [ --verbose ] [ --alt-odb ] < --all | .pack filename ... > DESCRIPTION
This program computes which packs in your repository are redundant. The output is suitable for piping to xargs rm if you are in the root of the repository. git pack-redundant accepts a list of objects on standard input. Any objects given will be ignored when checking which packs are required. This makes the following command useful when wanting to remove packs which contain unreachable objects. git fsck --full --unreachable | cut -d ' ' -f3 | git pack-redundant --all | xargs rm OPTIONS
--all Processes all packs. Any filenames on the command line are ignored. --alt-odb Don't require objects present in packs from alternate object directories to be present in local packs. --verbose Outputs some statistics to stderr. Has a small performance penalty. SEE ALSO
git-pack-objects(1) git-repack(1) git-prune-packed(1) GIT
Part of the git(1) suite Git 2.17.1 10/05/2018 GIT-PACK-REDUNDANT(1)
