+ `git repack` ensures this by determining a "cut" of packfiles that need

+ picks the smallest set of packfiles such that as many of the larger
+ packfiles (by count of objects contained in that pack) may be left

+ packs determined to need to be combined in order to restore a geometric
+ progression.
+ +
+ When `--unpacked` is specified, loose objects are implicitly included in
+ this "roll-up", without respect to their reachability. This is subject
+ to change in the future. This option (implying a drastically different
+ repack mode) is not guaranteed to work with all other combinations of
+ option to `git repack`).

+Various configuration variables affect packing, see

By default, the command passes `--delta-base-offset` option to
'git pack-objects'; this typically results in slightly smaller packs,
but the generated packs are incompatible with versions of Git older than
