+git-index-pack(1)
+=================
+
+NAME
+----
+git-index-pack - Build pack index file for an existing packed archive
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+'git-index-pack' [-o <index-file>] <pack-file>
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Reads a packed archive (.pack) from the specified file, and
+builds a pack index file (.idx) for it. The packed archive
+together with the pack index can then be placed in the
+objects/pack/ directory of a git repository.
+
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+-o <index-file>::
+ Write the generated pack index into the specified
+ file. Without this option the name of pack index
+ file is constructed from the name of packed archive
+ file by replacing .pack with .idx (and the program
+ fails if the name of packed archive does not end
+ with .pack).
