  14DESCRIPTION
  15-----------
  16This program searches the `$GIT_OBJECT_DIR` for all objects that currently
  17exist in a pack file as well as the independent object directories.
  18
  19All such extra objects are removed.
  20
  21A pack is a collection of objects, individually compressed, with delta
  22compression applied, stored in a single file, with an associated index file.
  23
  24Packs are used to reduce the load on mirror systems, backup engines,
  25disk storage, etc.
