'git repack'.
--fix-thin::
- It is possible for 'git pack-objects' to build
- "thin" pack, which records objects in deltified form based on
- objects not included in the pack to reduce network traffic.
- Those objects are expected to be present on the receiving end
- and they must be included in the pack for that pack to be self
- contained and indexable. Without this option any attempt to
- index a thin pack will fail. This option only makes sense in
- conjunction with --stdin.
+ Fix a "thin" pack produced by `git pack-objects --thin` (see
+ linkgit:git-pack-objects[1] for details) by adding the
+ excluded objects the deltified objects are based on to the
+ pack. This option only makes sense in conjunction with --stdin.
--keep::
Before moving the index into its final destination
the newly constructed pack and index before refs can be
updated to use objects contained in the pack.
---keep='why'::
+--keep=<msg>::
Like --keep create a .keep file before moving the index into
its final destination, but rather than creating an empty file
- place 'why' followed by an LF into the .keep file. The 'why'
+ place '<msg>' followed by an LF into the .keep file. The '<msg>'
message can later be searched for within all .keep files to
locate any which have outlived their usefulness.
