SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
-'git-pack-objects' [-q] [--no-reuse-delta] [--non-empty]
- [--local] [--incremental] [--window=N] [--depth=N]
+'git-pack-objects' [-q] [--no-reuse-delta] [--delta-base-offset] [--non-empty]
+ [--local] [--incremental] [--window=N] [--depth=N] [--all-progress]
[--revs [--unpacked | --all]*] [--stdout | base-name] < object-list
it too deep affects the performance on the unpacker
side, because delta data needs to be applied that many
times to get to the necessary object.
- The default value for both --window and --depth is 10.
+ The default value for --window is 10 and --depth is 50.
--incremental::
This flag causes an object already in a pack ignored
Only create a packed archive if it would contain at
least one object.
+--progress::
+ Progress status is reported on the standard error stream
+ by default when it is attached to a terminal, unless -q
+ is specified. This flag forces progress status even if
+ the standard error stream is not directed to a terminal.
+
+--all-progress::
+ When --stdout is specified then progress report is
+ displayed during the object count and deltification phases
+ but inhibited during the write-out phase. The reason is
+ that in some cases the output stream is directly linked
+ to another command which may wish to display progress
+ status of its own as it processes incoming pack data.
+ This flag is like --progress except that it forces progress
+ report for the write-out phase as well even if --stdout is
+ used.
+
-q::
This flag makes the command not to report its progress
on the standard error stream.
This flag tells the command not to reuse existing deltas
but compute them from scratch.
+--delta-base-offset::
+ A packed archive can express base object of a delta as
+ either 20-byte object name or as an offset in the
+ stream, but older version of git does not understand the
+ latter. By default, git-pack-objects only uses the
+ former format for better compatibility. This option
+ allows the command to use the latter format for
+ compactness. Depending on the average delta chain
+ length, this option typically shrinks the resulting
+ packfile by 3-5 per-cent.
+
+--index-version=<version>[,<offset>]::
+ This is intended to be used by the test suite only. It allows
+ to force the version for the generated pack index, and to force
+ 64-bit index entries on objects located above the given offset.
