generated pack. If not specified, pack compression level is
determined first by pack.compression, then by core.compression,
and defaults to -1, the zlib default, if neither is set.
- Data copied from loose objects will be recompressed
- if core.legacyheaders was true when they were created or if
- the loose compression level (see core.loosecompression and
- core.compression) is now a different value than the pack
- compression level. Add --no-reuse-object if you want to force
- a uniform compression level on all data no matter the source.

--delta-base-offset::
A packed archive can express base object of a delta as
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
