[--revs [--unpacked | --all]*] [--stdout | base-name] < object-list
<base-name> to determine the name of the created file.
When this option is used, the two files are written in
<base-name>-<SHA1>.{pack,idx} files. <SHA1> is a hash
- of object names (currently in random order so it does
- not have any useful meaning) to make the resulting
- filename reasonably unique, and written to the standard
+ of the sorted object names to make the resulting filename
+ based on the pack content, and written to the standard
output of the command.
--stdout::
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.
- The default value for both --window and --depth is 10.
+ The default value for --window is 10 and --depth is 50.
--incremental::
This flag causes an object already in a pack ignored
Only create a packed archive if it would contain at
least one object.
+--progress::
+ Progress status is reported on the standard error stream
+ by default when it is attached to a terminal, unless -q
+ is specified. This flag forces progress status even if
+ the standard error stream is not directed to a terminal.
+
+--all-progress::
+ When --stdout is specified then progress report is
+ displayed during the object count and deltification phases
+ but inhibited during the write-out phase. The reason is
+ that in some cases the output stream is directly linked
+ to another command which may wish to display progress
+ status of its own as it processes incoming pack data.
+ This flag is like --progress except that it forces progress
+ report for the write-out phase as well even if --stdout is
+ used.
+
-q::
This flag makes the command not to report its progress
on the standard error stream.
This flag tells the command not to reuse existing deltas
but compute them from scratch.
+--no-reuse-object::
+ This flag tells the command not to reuse existing object data at all,
+ including non deltified object, forcing recompression of everything.
+ This implies --no-reuse-delta. Useful only in the obscur case where
+ wholesale enforcement of a different compression level on the
+ packed data is desired.
+
--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
length, this option typically shrinks the resulting
packfile by 3-5 per-cent.
+--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
+ 64-bit index entries on objects located above the given offset.
