| |
| |
| SYNOPSIS |
| -------- |
| 'git prune-packed' [-n|--dry-run] [-q|--quiet] |
| |
| |
| DESCRIPTION |
| ----------- |
| This program searches the `$GIT_OBJECT_DIR` for all objects that currently |
| exist in a pack file as well as the independent object directories. |
| |
| All such extra objects are removed. |
| |
| 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. |
