SYNOPSIS

-'git-repack' [-a] [-d] [-f] [-l] [-n] [-q] [--window=N] [--depth=N]
+'git-repack' [-a] [-A] [-d] [-f] [-l] [-n] [-q] [--window=N] [--depth=N]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
This script is used to combine all objects that do not currently
-reside in a "pack", into a pack. It can also be used to re-organise
+reside in a "pack", into a pack. It can also be used to re-organize
existing packs into a single, more efficient pack.
A pack is a collection of objects, individually compressed, with
leaves behind, but `git fsck --full` shows as
dangling.
+-A::
+ Same as `-a`, but any unreachable objects in a previous
+ pack become loose, unpacked objects, instead of being
+ left in the old pack. Unreachable objects are never
+ intentionally added to a pack, even when repacking.
+ When used with '-d', this option
+ prevents unreachable objects from being immediately
+ deleted by way of being left in the old pack and then
+ removed. Instead, the loose unreachable objects
+ will be pruned according to normal expiry rules
+ with the next linkgit:git-gc[1].
+
-d::
After packing, if the newly created packs make some
existing packs redundant, remove the redundant packs.
- Also runs gitlink:git-prune-packed[1].

-l::
Pass the `--local` option to `git pack-objects`, see
- gitlink:git-pack-objects[1].
+ linkgit:git-pack-objects[1].
-f::
Pass the `--no-reuse-delta` option to `git pack-objects`, see
- gitlink:git-pack-objects[1].
+ linkgit:git-pack-objects[1].
-q::
Pass the `-q` option to `git pack-objects`, see
- gitlink:git-pack-objects[1].
+ linkgit:git-pack-objects[1].
-n::
- Do not update the server information with
- `git update-server-info`.
+ Do not update the server information with
+ `git update-server-info`. This option skips
+ updating local catalog files needed to publish
+ this repository (or a direct copy of it)
+ over HTTP or FTP. See gitlink:git-update-server-info[1].
--window=[N], --depth=[N]::
These two options affect how the objects contained in the pack are
