   9 SYNOPSIS
  10 --------
  11 'git-unpack-objects' [-n] [-q] [-r] <pack-file
  12
  13
  14 DESCRIPTION
  15 -----------
  16 Read a packed archive (.pack) from the standard input, expanding
  17 the objects contained within and writing them into the repository in
  18 "loose" (one object per file) format.
  19
  20 Objects that already exist in the repository will *not* be unpacked
  21 from the pack-file.  Therefore, nothing will be unpacked if you use
  22 this command on a pack-file that exists within the target repository.
  23
  24 Please see the `git-repack` documentation for options to generate
  25 new packs and replace existing ones.

  27 OPTIONS
  28 -------
  29 -n::
  30         Only list the objects that would be unpacked, don't actually unpack
  31         them.
  32
  33 -q::
  34         The command usually shows percentage progress.  This
  35         flag suppresses it.
  36
  37 -r::
  38         When unpacking a corrupt packfile, the command dies at
  39         the first corruption.  This flag tells it to keep going
  40         and make the best effort to recover as many objects as
  41         possible.
