  14 DESCRIPTION
  15 -----------
  16 This program searches the `$GIT_OBJECT_DIR` for all objects that currently
  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.
