| 5 | NAME | |
| 6 | ---- | |
| 215a7ad1 | 7 | git-repack - Script used to pack a repository from a collection of |
| e31bb3bb JH |
8 | objects into pack files. |

| 15 | DESCRIPTION | |

18 | This script is used to combine all objects that do not currently |
| 19 | reside in a "pack", into a pack. | |
| 20 | ||
| 21 | A pack is a collection of objects, individually compressed, with | |
| 22 | delta compression applied, stored in a single file, with an | |
| 23 | associated index file. | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | Packs are used to reduce the load on mirror systems, backup | |
| 26 | engines, disk storage, etc. | |
| 27 | ||
| 28 | OPTIONS | |
| 29 | ------- | |
| 30 | ||
| 31 | -a:: | |
| 32 | Instead of incrementally packing the unpacked objects, | |
| 33 | pack everything available into a single pack. | |
| 34 | Especially useful when packing a repository that is used | |
| 35 | for a private development and there no need to worry | |
| 36 | about people fetching via dumb protocols from it. Use | |
| 37 | with '-d'. | |
| 38 | ||
| 39 | -d:: | |
| 40 | After packing, if the newly created packs make some | |
| 41 | existing packs redundant, remove the redundant packs. | |
