| git-unpack-objects(1) | 
 | ===================== | 
 |  | 
 | 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. |
