+--objects-edge::
+       Similar to `--objects`, but also print the IDs of
+       excluded commits refixed with a `-` character.  This is
+       used by `git-pack-objects` to build 'thin' pack, which
+       records objects in deltified form based on objects
+       contained in these excluded commits to reduce network
+       traffic.

 --unpacked::
        Only useful with `--objects`; print the object IDs that
        are not in packs.
