22 git-repack \- Script used to pack a repository from a collection of objects into pack files.
26 git\-repack [\-a] [\-d] [\-l] [\-n]
31 This script is used to combine all objects that do not currently reside in a "pack", into a pack\&.
34 A pack is a collection of objects, individually compressed, with delta compression applied, stored in a single file, with an associated index file\&.
37 Packs are used to reduce the load on mirror systems, backup engines, disk storage, etc\&.
43 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\&.
47 After packing, if the newly created packs make some existing packs redundant, remove the redundant packs\&.
51 Pass the \-\-local option to git pack\-objects, see \fBgit\-pack\-objects\fR(1)\&.
55 Do not update the server information with git update\-server\-info\&.
