| git-repack-script(1) | |
| ===================== | |
| v0.99.5, August 2005 | |
| NAME | |
| ---- | |
| git-repack-script - Script used to pack a repository from a collection of | |
| objects into pack files. | |
| SYNOPSIS | |
| -------- | |
| 'git-repack-script' [-a] [-d] | |
| DESCRIPTION | |
| ----------- | |
| This script is used to combine all objects that do not currently | |
| reside in a "pack", into a pack. | |
| A pack is a collection of objects, individually compressed, with | |
| delta compression applied, stored in a single file, with an | |
| associated index file. | |
| Packs are used to reduce the load on mirror systems, backup | |
| engines, disk storage, etc. | |
| OPTIONS | |
| ------- | |
| -a:: | |
| Instead of incrementally packing the unpacked objects, | |
| pack everything available into a single pack. | |
| Especially useful when packing a repository that is used | |
| for a private development and there no need to worry | |
| about people fetching via dumb protocols from it. Use | |
| with '-d'. | |
| -d:: | |
| After packing, if the newly created packs make some | |
| existing packs redundant, remove the redundant packs. | |
