Therefore, nothing will be unpacked if you use +this command on a pack-file that exists within the target repository. + +See linkgit:git-repack[1] for options to generate +new packs and replace existing ones. OPTIONS ------- +-n:: + Dry run. Check the pack file without actually unpacking + the objects. + -q:: The command usually shows percentage progress. This flag suppresses it. +-r:: + When unpacking a corrupt packfile, the command dies at + the first corruption. This flag tells it to keep going + and make the best effort to recover as many objects as + possible. -Author ------- -Written by Linus Torvalds - -Documentation -------------- -Documentation by Junio C Hamano +--strict:: + Don't write objects with broken content or links.
