+ When this flag is provided, the pack is read from stdin

+ <pack-file> is not specified, the pack is written to
+ objects/pack/ directory of the current git repository with
+ a default name determined from the pack content.

+--fix-thin::
+ It is possible for gitlink:git-pack-objects[1] to build
+ "thin" pack, which records objects in deltified form based on
+ objects not included in the pack to reduce network traffic.
+ Those objects are expected to be present on the receiving end
+ and they must be included in the pack for that pack to be self
+ contained and indexable. Without this option any attempt to
+ index a thin pack will fail. This option only makes sense in
+ conjonction with --stdin.
