  13DESCRIPTION
  14-----------
  15This program computes which packs in your repository
  16are redundant. The output is suitable for piping to
  17'xargs rm' if you are in the root of the repository.
  18
  19git-pack-redundant accepts a list of objects on standard input. Any objects
  20given will be ignored when checking which packs are required. This makes the 
  21following command useful when wanting to remove packs which contain unreachable
  22objects.
