Therefore, nothing will be unpacked if you use +this command on a pack-file that exists within the target repository. + +Please see the `git-repack` documentation for options to generate +new packs and replace existing ones. + +OPTIONS +------- +-n:: + Dry run. Check the pack file without actually unpacking + the objects. + +-q:: + The command usually shows percentage progress. This + flag suppresses it. + +-r:: + When unpacking a corrupt packfile, the command dies at + the first corruption. This flag tells it to keep going + and make the best effort to recover as many objects as + possible. + + +Author +------ +Written by Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> + +Documentation +------------- +Documentation by Junio C Hamano + +GIT +--- +Part of the gitlink:git[7] suite |
