+--window-memory=[N]::
+       This option provides an additional limit on top of `--window`;
+       the window size will dynamically scale down so as to not take
+       up more than N bytes in memory.  This is useful in
+       repositories with a mix of large and small objects to not run
+       out of memory with a large window, but still be able to take
+       advantage of the large window for the smaller objects.  The

+       This flag tells the command not to reuse existing object data at all,

+--compression=[N]::
+       Specifies compression level for newly-compressed data in the
