| 14 | DESCRIPTION |
| 15 | ----------- |
| 16 | |
| 17 | This script is used to combine all objects that do not currently |
| 18 | reside in a "pack", into a pack. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | A pack is a collection of objects, individually compressed, with |
| 21 | delta compression applied, stored in a single file, with an |
| 22 | associated index file. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | Packs are used to reduce the load on mirror systems, backup |
| 25 | engines, disk storage, etc. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | OPTIONS |
| 28 | ------- |
| 29 | |
| 30 | -a:: |
| 31 | Instead of incrementally packing the unpacked objects, |
| 32 | pack everything available into a single pack. |
| 33 | Especially useful when packing a repository that is used |
| 34 | for a private development and there no need to worry |
| 35 | about people fetching via dumb protocols from it. Use |
| 36 | with '-d'. |
| 37 | |
| 38 | -d:: |
| 39 | After packing, if the newly created packs make some |
| 40 | existing packs redundant, remove the redundant packs. |
| 41 | |
| 42 | -l:: |
| 43 | Pass the `--local` option to `git pack-objects`, see |
| 44 | gitlink:git-pack-objects[1]. |
| 45 | |
| Junio C Hamano | 7e9f6b7 | 2006-02-22 10:44:55 | [diff] [blame] | 46 | -f:: |
| 47 | Pass the `--no-reuse-delta` option to `git pack-objects`, see |
| 48 | gitlink:git-pack-objects[1]. |
| 49 | |
| 50 | -q:: |
| 51 | Pass the `-q` option to `git pack-objects`, see |
| 52 | gitlink:git-pack-objects[1]. |
| 53 | |
| Junio C Hamano | 1a4e841 | 2005-12-27 08:17:23 | [diff] [blame] | 54 | -n:: |
| 55 | Do not update the server information with |
| 56 | `git update-server-info`. |
