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-objects --full --unreachable | cut -d ' ' -f3 | \ +git-pack-redundant --all | xargs rm + +OPTIONS +------- + + +--all:: + Processes all packs. Any filenames on the commandline 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.
