DESCRIPTION
-----------
leaves behind, but `git fsck --full` shows as
dangling.
+-A::
+ Same as `-a`, but any unreachable objects in a previous
+ pack become loose, unpacked objects, instead of being
+ left in the old pack. Unreachable objects are never
+ intentionally added to a pack, even when repacking.
+ When used with '-d', this option
+ prevents unreachable objects from being immediately
+ deleted by way of being left in the old pack and then
+ removed. Instead, the loose unreachable objects
+ will be pruned according to normal expiry rules
+ with the next linkgit:git-gc[1].
+
-d::
After packing, if the newly created packs make some
existing packs redundant, remove the redundant packs.

-l::
Pass the `--local` option to `git pack-objects`, see
- gitlink:git-pack-objects[1].
+ linkgit:git-pack-objects[1].
-f::
Pass the `--no-reuse-delta` option to `git pack-objects`, see
- gitlink:git-pack-objects[1].
+ linkgit:git-pack-objects[1].
-q::
Pass the `-q` option to `git pack-objects`, see
- gitlink:git-pack-objects[1].
+ linkgit:git-pack-objects[1].
-n::
- Do not update the server information with
- `git update-server-info`.
-
---window=[N], --depth=[N]::
+ Do not update the server information with
+ `git update-server-info`. This option skips
+ updating local catalog files needed to publish
+ this repository (or a direct copy of it)
+ over HTTP or FTP. See gitlink:git-update-server-info[1].
+
+--window=[N]::
+--depth=[N]::
These two options affect 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
