times to get to the necessary object.
The default value for --window is 10 and --depth is 50.
+--window-memory=[N]::
+ This option provides an additional limit on top of `--window`;
+ the window size will dynamically scale down so as to not take
+ up more than N bytes in memory. This is useful in
+ repositories with a mix of large and small objects to not run
+ out of memory with a large window, but still be able to take
+ advantage of the large window for the smaller objects. The
+ size can be suffixed with "k", "m", or "g".
+ `--window-memory=0` makes memory usage unlimited, which is the
+ default.

--max-pack-size=<n>::
Maximum size of each output packfile, expressed in MiB.
If specified, multiple packfiles may be created.
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
