SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
|
'git-repack' [-a] [-d] [-f] [-l] [-n] [-q] [--window=N] [--depth=N]

DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This script is used to combine all objects that do not currently
|
|
|
|
|
reside in a "pack", into a pack.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A pack is a collection of objects, individually compressed, with
|
|
|
|
|
delta compression applied, stored in a single file, with an
|
|
|
|
|
associated index file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Packs are used to reduce the load on mirror systems, backup
|
|
|
|
|
engines, disk storage, etc.

OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-a::
|
|
|
|
|
Instead of incrementally packing the unpacked objects,
|
|
|
|
|
pack everything available into a single pack.
|
|
|
|
|
Especially useful when packing a repository that is used
|
|
|
|
|
for a private development and there no need to worry
|
|
|
|
|
about people fetching via dumb protocols from it. Use
|
|
|
|
|
with '-d'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-d::
|
|
|
|
|
After packing, if the newly created packs make some
|
|
|
|
|
existing packs redundant, remove the redundant packs.
|
|
|
|
|
Also runs gitlink:git-prune-packed[1].
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-l::
|
|
|
|
|
Pass the `--local` option to `git pack-objects`, see
|
|
|
|
|
gitlink:git-pack-objects[1].
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-f::
|
|
|
|
|
Pass the `--no-reuse-delta` option to `git pack-objects`, see
|
|
|
|
|
gitlink:git-pack-objects[1].
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-q::
|
|
|
|
|
Pass the `-q` option to `git pack-objects`, see
|
|
|
|
|
gitlink:git-pack-objects[1].
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-n::
|
|
|
|
|
Do not update the server information with
|
|
|
|
|
`git update-server-info`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--window=[N], --depth=[N]::
|
|
|
|
|
These two options affects how the objects contained in the pack are
|
|
|
|
|
stored using delta compression. The objects are first internally
|
|
|
|
|
sorted by type, size and optionally names and compared against the
|
|
|
|
|
other objects within `--window` to see if using delta compression saves
|
|
|
|
|
space. `--depth` limits the maximum delta depth; making it too deep
|
|
|
|
|
affects the performance on the unpacker side, because delta data needs
|
|
|
|
|
to be applied that many times to get to the necessary object.
