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