--revs::
Read the revision arguments from the standard input, instead of
individual object names. The revision arguments are processed
- the same way as gitlink:git-rev-list[1] with `--objects` flag
+ the same way as linkgit:git-rev-list[1] with `--objects` flag
uses its `commit` arguments to build the list of objects it
outputs. The objects on the resulting list are packed.
--max-pack-size=<n>::
Maximum size of each output packfile, expressed in MiB.
If specified, multiple packfiles may be created.
- The default is unlimited.
+ The default is unlimited, unless the config variable
+ `pack.packSizeLimit` is set.
--incremental::
This flag causes an object already in a pack ignored
length, this option typically shrinks the resulting
packfile by 3-5 per-cent.
+--threads=<n>::
+ Specifies the number of threads to spawn when searching for best
+ delta matches. This requires that pack-objects be compiled with
+ pthreads otherwise this option is ignored with a warning.
+ This is meant to reduce packing time on multiprocessor machines.
+ The required amount of memory for the delta search window is
+ however multiplied by the number of threads.
+
--index-version=<version>[,<offset>]::
This is intended to be used by the test suite only. It allows
to force the version for the generated pack index, and to force
