SYNOPSIS

10

DESCRIPTION

12       This program searches the $GIT_OBJECT_DIR for all objects that
13       currently exist in a pack file as well as the independent object
14       directories.
15
16       All such extra objects are removed.
17
18       A pack is a collection of objects, individually compressed, with delta
19       compression applied, stored in a single file, with an associated index
20       file.
21
22       Packs are used to reduce the load on mirror systems, backup engines,
23       disk storage, etc.
