From: Jeff King Date: Mon, 13 Jun 2016 04:33:54 +0000 (-0400) Subject: repack: document --unpack-unreachable option X-Git-Tag: v2.10.0-rc0~157^2~2 X-Git-Url: https://git.lorimer.id.au/gitweb.git/diff_plain/6a7bcb54714c55234a292047ea6bb657bd5ab1b5 repack: document --unpack-unreachable option This was added back in 7e52f56 (gc: do not explode objects which will be immediately pruned, 2012-04-07), but not documented at the time, since it was an internal detail between git-gc and git-repack. However, as people with complicated setups may want to effectively reimplement the steps of git-gc themselves, it is nice for us to document these interfaces.
