| NAME |
| ---- |
| git-unpack-objects - Unpack objects from a packed archive |
| |
| |
| SYNOPSIS |
| -------- |
| 'git unpack-objects' [-n] [-q] [-r] [--strict] <pack-file |
| |
| |
| 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 pack-file. Therefore, nothing will be unpacked if you use |
| this command on a pack-file 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. |
