any of the directories on $GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES)
enables git to read from such an archive.
-'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 linkgit:git-rev-list[1] with `--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.
The default is unlimited, unless the config variable
`pack.packSizeLimit` is set.
+--honor-pack-keep::
+ This flag causes an object already in a local pack that
+ has a .keep file to be ignored, even if it appears in the
+ standard input.
+
--incremental::
This flag causes an object already in a pack ignored
even if it appears in the standard input.
--local::
This flag is similar to `--incremental`; instead of
ignoring all packed objects, it only ignores objects
- that are packed and not in the local object store
+ that are packed and/or not in the local object store
(i.e. borrowed from an alternate).
--non-empty::
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.
- Add \--no-reuse-object if you want to force a uniform compression
+ 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
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
