|  | ===================== | 
|  |  | 
|  | NAME | 
|  | ---- | 
|  | git-unpack-objects - Unpack objects from a packed archive | 
|  |  | 
|  |  | 
|  | SYNOPSIS | 
|  | -------- | 
|  | [verse] | 
|  | 'git unpack-objects' [-n] [-q] [-r] [--strict] | 
|  |  | 
|  |  | 
|  | DESCRIPTION | 
|  | ----------- | 
|  | Read a packed archive (.pack) from the standard input, expanding | 
|  | the objects contained within and writing them into the repository in | 
|  | "loose" (one object per file) format. | 
|  |  | 
|  | Objects that already exist in the repository will *not* be unpacked | 
|  | from the packfile.  Therefore, nothing will be unpacked if you use | 
|  | this command on a packfile 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. | 
|  |  | 
|  | --strict:: | 
|  | Don't write objects with broken content or links. | 
|  |  | 
|  | --max-input-size=<size>:: | 
|  | Die, if the pack is larger than <size>. |
