+--missing=<missing-action>::
+ A debug option to help with future "partial clone" development.
+ This option specifies how missing objects are handled.
++
+The form '--missing=error' requests that pack-objects stop with an error if
+a missing object is encountered. This is the default action.
++
+The form '--missing=allow-any' will allow object traversal to continue
+if a missing object is encountered. Missing objects will silently be
+omitted from the results.
++
+The form '--missing=allow-promisor' is like 'allow-any', but will only
+allow object traversal to continue for EXPECTED promisor missing objects.
+Unexpected missing object will raise an error.
+
+--exclude-promisor-objects::
+ Omit objects that are known to be in the promisor remote. (This
+ option has the purpose of operating only on locally created objects,
+ so that when we repack, we still maintain a distinction between
+ locally created objects [without .promisor] and objects from the
+ promisor remote [with .promisor].) This is used with partial clone.
+
+--keep-unreachable::
+ Objects unreachable from the refs in packs named with
+ --unpacked= option are added to the resulting pack, in
+ addition to the reachable objects that are not in packs marked
+ with *.keep files. This implies `--revs`.
+
+--pack-loose-unreachable::
+ Pack unreachable loose objects (and their loose counterparts
+ removed). This implies `--revs`.
+
+--unpack-unreachable::
+ Keep unreachable objects in loose form. This implies `--revs`.
