14DESCRIPTION
15-----------
16This program searches the `$GIT_OBJECT_DIR` for all objects that currently
17exist in a pack file as well as the independent object directories.
18
19All such extra objects are removed.
20
21A pack is a collection of objects, individually compressed, with delta
22compression applied, stored in a single file, with an associated index file.
23
24Packs are used to reduce the load on mirror systems, backup engines,
25disk storage, etc.
