DESCRIPTION
-----------
Note that users fetching over dumb protocols will have to fetch the
whole new pack in order to get any contained object, no matter how many
other objects in that pack they already have locally.
++
+Promisor packfiles are repacked separately: if there are packfiles that
+have an associated ".promisor" file, these packfiles will be repacked
+into another separate pack, and an empty ".promisor" file corresponding
+to the new separate pack will be written.
-A::
Same as `-a`, unless `-d` is used. Then any unreachable
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.
- The default value for --window is 10 and --depth is 50.
++
+The default value for --window is 10 and --depth is 50. The maximum
+depth is 4095.
--threads=<n>::
This option is passed through to `git pack-objects`.
with `-b` or `repack.writeBitmaps`, as it ensures that the
bitmapped packfile has the necessary objects.
+--keep-pack=<pack-name>::
+ Exclude the given pack from repacking. This is the equivalent
+ of having `.keep` file on the pack. `<pack-name>` is the the
+ pack file name without leading directory (e.g. `pack-123.pack`).
+ The option could be specified multiple times to keep multiple
+ packs.
+
--unpack-unreachable=<when>::
When loosening unreachable objects, do not bother loosening any
objects older than `<when>`. This can be used to optimize out
being removed. In addition, any unreachable loose objects will
be packed (and their loose counterparts removed).
+-i::
+--delta-islands::
+ Pass the `--delta-islands` option to `git-pack-objects`, see
+ linkgit:git-pack-objects[1].
