| 14 | DESCRIPTION |
| 15 | ----------- |
| Junio C Hamano | 9810d63 | 2007-09-24 01:05:34 | [diff] [blame] | 16 | This program searches the `$GIT_OBJECT_DIR` for all objects that currently |
| Junio C Hamano | 1a4e841 | 2005-12-27 08:17:23 | [diff] [blame] | 17 | exist in a pack file as well as the independent object directories. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | All such extra objects are removed. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | A pack is a collection of objects, individually compressed, with delta |
| 22 | compression applied, stored in a single file, with an associated index file. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | Packs are used to reduce the load on mirror systems, backup engines, |
| 25 | disk storage, etc. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | |
| 28 | OPTIONS |
| 29 | ------- |
| 30 | -n:: |
| 31 | Don't actually remove any objects, only show those that would have been |
| 32 | removed. |
