615 Write the generated pack index into the specified

617 file is constructed from the name of packed archive

654 Before moving the index into its final destination
655 create an empty .keep file for the associated pack file.

697 Specifies the number of threads to spawn when resolving
698 deltas. This requires that index-pack be compiled with
699 pthreads otherwise this option is ignored with a warning.
700 This is meant to reduce packing time on multiprocessor
701 machines. The required amount of memory for the delta search
702 window is however multiplied by the number of threads.
703 Specifying 0 will cause git to auto-detect the number of CPU&#8217;s
704 and use maximum 3 threads.
