--strict::
Die, if the pack contains broken objects or links.
+--threads=<n>::
+ Specifies the number of threads to spawn when resolving
+ deltas. This requires that index-pack be compiled with
+ pthreads otherwise this option is ignored with a warning.
+ This is meant to reduce packing time on multiprocessor
+ machines. The required amount of memory for the delta search
+ window is however multiplied by the number of threads.
+ Specifying 0 will cause git to auto-detect the number of CPU's
+ and use maximum 3 threads.
