SYNOPSIS
--------
-'git-repack' [-a] [-d]
+'git-repack' [-a] [-d] [-f] [-l] [-n] [-q] [--window=N] [--depth=N]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
-d::
After packing, if the newly created packs make some
existing packs redundant, remove the redundant packs.
+ Also runs gitlink:git-prune-packed[1].
+
+-l::
+ Pass the `--local` option to `git pack-objects`, see
+ gitlink:git-pack-objects[1].
+
+-f::
+ Pass the `--no-reuse-delta` option to `git pack-objects`, see
+ gitlink:git-pack-objects[1].
+
+-q::
+ Pass the `-q` option to `git pack-objects`, see
+ gitlink:git-pack-objects[1].
+
+-n::
+ Do not update the server information with
+ `git update-server-info`.
+
+--window=[N], --depth=[N]::
+ These two options affects how the objects contained in the pack are
+ stored using delta compression. The objects are first internally
+ sorted by type, size and optionally names and compared against the
+ other objects within `--window` to see if using delta compression saves
+ space. `--depth` limits the maximum delta depth; making it too deep
+ affects the performance on the unpacker side, because delta data needs
+ to be applied that many times to get to the necessary object.
