31 git-unpack-objects \- Unpack objects from a packed archive
35 \fIgit unpack\-objects\fR [\-n] [\-q] [\-r] [\-\-strict]
40 Read a packed archive (\&.pack) from the standard input, expanding the objects contained within and writing them into the repository in "loose" (one object per file) format\&.
42 Objects that already exist in the repository will \fBnot\fR be unpacked from the packfile\&. Therefore, nothing will be unpacked if you use this command on a packfile that exists within the target repository\&.
44 See \fBgit-repack\fR(1) for options to generate new packs and replace existing ones\&.
49 Dry run\&. Check the pack file without actually unpacking the objects\&.
54 The command usually shows percentage progress\&. This flag suppresses it\&.
59 When unpacking a corrupt packfile, the command dies at the first corruption\&. This flag tells it to keep going and make the best effort to recover as many objects as possible\&.
64 Don\(cqt write objects with broken content or links\&.
67 \-\-max\-input\-size=<size>
69 Die, if the pack is larger than <size>\&.
