The default value for --window is 10 and --depth is 50. +--window-memory=[N]:: + This option provides an additional limit on top of `--window`; + the window size will dynamically scale down so as to not take + up more than N bytes in memory. This is useful in + repositories with a mix of large and small objects to not run + out of memory with a large window, but still be able to take + 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, which is the + default. + --max-pack-size=<n>:: Maximum size of each output packfile, expressed in MiB. If specified, multiple packfiles may be created. |
