+ Before committing the pack-index, create a .promisor file for this
+ pack. Particularly helpful when writing a promisor pack with --fix-thin
+ since the name of the pack is not final until the pack has been fully
+ written. If a `<message>` is provided, then that content will be
+ written to the .promisor file for future reference. See
+ link:technical/partial-clone.html[partial clone] for more information.
