SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
'git-repack' [-a] [-d]

|
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.
