advantage of the large window for the smaller objects. The
size can be suffixed with "k", "m", or "g".
`--window-memory=0` makes memory usage unlimited. The default
is taken from the `pack.windowMemory` configuration variable.
--max-pack-size=<n>::
In unusual scenarios, you may not be able to create files
larger than a certain size on your filesystem, and this option
can be used to tell the command to split the output packfile
into multiple independent packfiles, each not larger than the
given size. The size can be suffixed with
"k", "m", or "g". The minimum size allowed is limited to 1 MiB.
The default is unlimited, unless the config variable
`pack.packSizeLimit` is set. Note that this option may result in
a larger and slower repository; see the discussion in
`pack.packSizeLimit`.
--honor-pack-keep::
This flag causes an object already in a local pack that
has a .keep file to be ignored, even if it would have
otherwise been packed.
--keep-pack=<pack-name>::
This flag causes an object already in the given pack to be
ignored, even if it would have otherwise been
packed. `<pack-name>` is the pack file name without
leading directory (e.g. `pack-123.pack`). The option could be
specified multiple times to keep multiple packs.
--incremental::
This flag causes an object already in a pack to be ignored
even if it would have otherwise been packed.
--local::
This flag causes an object that is borrowed from an alternate
object store to be ignored even if it would have otherwise been
packed.
--non-empty::
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 compression 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.
--all-progress-implied::
This is used to imply --all-progress whenever progress display
is activated. Unlike --all-progress this flag doesn't actually
force any progress display by itself.
-q::
This flag makes the command not to report its progress
on the standard error stream.
--no-reuse-delta::
When creating a packed archive in a repository that
has existing packs, the command reuses existing deltas.
This sometimes results in a slightly suboptimal pack.
This flag tells the command not to reuse existing deltas
but compute them from scratch.
--no-reuse-object::
This flag tells the command not to reuse existing object data at all,
including non deltified object, forcing recompression of everything.
This implies --no-reuse-delta. Useful only in the obscure case where
wholesale enforcement of a different compression level on the
packed data is desired.
--compression=<n>::
Specifies compression level for newly-compressed data in the
generated pack. If not specified, pack compression level is
determined first by pack.compression, then by core.compression,
and defaults to -1, the zlib default, if neither is set.
Add --no-reuse-object if you want to force a uniform compression
level on all data no matter the source.
--[no-]sparse::
Toggle the "sparse" algorithm to determine which objects to include in
the pack, when combined with the "--revs" option. This algorithm
only walks trees that appear in paths that introduce new objects.
This can have significant performance benefits when computing
a pack to send a small change. However, it is possible that extra
objects are added to the
