From ccae01cab817f64a52fcb403cb355e41c2303b74 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Fri, 5 Mar 2021 10:22:02 -0500 Subject: builtin/repack.c: reword comment around pack-objects flags The comment in this block is meant to indicate that passing '--all', '--reflog', and so on aren't necessary when repacking with the '--geometric' option. But, it has two problems: first, it is factually incorrect ('--all' is *not* incompatible with '--stdin-packs' as the comment suggests); second, it is quite focused on the geometric case for a block that is guarding against it. Reword this comment to address both issues.
