random access, accompanied with the pack index file (.idx).

'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
transport by their peers.

In a packed archive, an object is either stored as a compressed
whole, or as a difference from some other object. The latter is
often called a delta.
--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.
