16-----------

SE
17Read a packed archive (.pack) from the standard input, expanding
18the objects contained within and writing them into the repository in
19"loose" (one object per file) format.
20
21Objects that already exist in the repository will *not* be unpacked
22from the pack-file. Therefore, nothing will be unpacked if you use
23this command on a pack-file that exists within the target repository.

35 The command usually shows percentage progress. This
36 flag suppresses it.

38-r::
39 When unpacking a corrupt packfile, the command dies at
40 the first corruption. This flag tells it to keep going
3b67d291 41 and make the best effort to recover as many objects as
