enables git to read from such an archive.
-The 'git-unpack-objects' command can read the packed archive and
+The 'git unpack-objects' command can read the packed archive and
expand the objects contained in the pack into "one-file
one-object" format; this is typically done by the smart-pull
commands when a pack is created on-the-fly for efficient network
--revs::
Read the revision arguments from the standard input, instead of
individual object names. The revision arguments are processed
- the same way as 'git-rev-list' with the `--objects` flag
+ the same way as 'git rev-list' with the `--objects` flag
uses its `commit` arguments to build the list of objects it
outputs. The objects on the resulting list are packed.
--all-progress::
When --stdout is specified then progress report is
- displayed during the object count and deltification phases
+ displayed during the object count and compression phases
but inhibited during the write-out phase. The reason is
that in some cases the output stream is directly linked
to another command which may wish to display progress
report for the write-out phase as well even if --stdout is
used.
+--all-progress-implied::
+ This is used to imply --all-progress whenever progress display
+ is activated. Unlike --all-progress this flag doesn't actually
+ force any progress display by itself.

-q::
This flag makes the command not to report its progress
on the standard error stream.
A packed archive can express base object of a delta as
either 20-byte object name or as an offset in the
stream, but older version of git does not understand the
- latter. By default, 'git-pack-objects' only uses the
+ latter. By default, 'git pack-objects' only uses the
former format for better compatibility. This option
allows the command to use the latter format for
compactness. Depending on the average delta chain
