31 git-pack-redundant \- Find redundant pack files
35 \fIgit pack\-redundant\fR [ \-\-verbose ] [ \-\-alt\-odb ] ( \-\-all | <pack\-filename>\&... )
40 This program computes which packs in your repository are redundant\&. The output is suitable for piping to \fBxargs rm\fR if you are in the root of the repository\&.
42 \fIgit pack\-redundant\fR accepts a list of objects on standard input\&. Any objects given will be ignored when checking which packs are required\&. This makes the following command useful when wanting to remove packs which contain unreachable objects\&.
44 git fsck \-\-full \-\-unreachable | cut \-d \(aq \(aq \-f3 | \e git pack\-redundant \-\-all | xargs rm
49 Processes all packs\&. Any filenames on the command line are ignored\&.
54 Don\(cqt require objects present in packs from alternate object directories to be present in local packs\&.
59 Outputs some statistics to stderr\&. Has a small performance penalty\&.
