  10 --------
  11 [verse]
  12 'git unpack-objects' [-n] [-q] [-r] [--strict]

  15 DESCRIPTION
  16 -----------
  17 Read a packed archive (.pack) from the standard input, expanding
  18 the objects contained within and writing them into the repository in
  19 "loose" (one object per file) format.
  20
  21 Objects that already exist in the repository will *not* be unpacked
  22 from the packfile.  Therefore, nothing will be unpacked if you use
  23 this command on a packfile that exists within the target repository.
  24
  25 See linkgit:git-repack[1] for options to generate
  26 new packs and replace existing ones.
  27
  28 OPTIONS
  29 -------
  30 -n::
  31         Dry run.  Check the pack file without actually unpacking
  32         the objects.
  33
  34 -q::
  35         The command usually shows percentage progress.  This
  36         flag suppresses it.
  37
  38 -r::
  39         When unpacking a corrupt packfile, the command dies at
  40         the first corruption.  This flag tells it to keep going
  41         and make the best effort to recover as many objects as
  42         possible.
  43
  44 --strict::
  45         Don't write objects with broken content or links.
  46
  47 --max-input-size=<size>::
  48         Die, if the pack is larger than <size>.
