31 git-prune-packed \- Remove extra objects that are already in pack files
35 \fIgit prune\-packed\fR [\-n | \-\-dry\-run] [\-q | \-\-quiet]
40 This program searches the \fB$GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY\fR for all objects that currently exist in a pack file as well as the independent object directories\&.
42 All such extra objects are removed\&.
44 A pack is a collection of objects, individually compressed, with delta compression applied, stored in a single file, with an associated index file\&.
46 Packs are used to reduce the load on mirror systems, backup engines, disk storage, etc\&.
51 Don\(cqt actually remove any objects, only show those that would have been removed\&.
56 Squelch the progress indicator\&.
