From e31bb3bb939a8feb7af472c55d95f41a90bbc438 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Mon, 15 Aug 2005 15:48:47 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Add documentation for git repack and git-prune-packed. [jc: the patch forgot to update the main git.txt documentation, making all these new documentation practically no-op, so I added a minimum attempt linking them from there.] Signed-off-by: Ryan Anderson --- Documentation/git-prune-packed.txt | 42 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 42 insertions(+) create mode 100644 Documentation/git-prune-packed.txt (limited to 'Documentation/git-prune-packed.txt') diff --git a/Documentation/git-prune-packed.txt b/Documentation/git-prune-packed.txt new file mode 100644 index 000000000..893c1df55 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/git-prune-packed.txt @@ -0,0 +1,42 @@ +git-prune-packed(1) +===================== +v0.1, August 2005 + +NAME +---- +git-prune-packed - Program used to remove the extra object files that are now +residing in a pack file. + + +SYNOPSIS +-------- +'git-prune-packed' + +DESCRIPTION +----------- +This program search the GIT_OBJECT_DIR for all objects that currently exist in +a pack file as well as the independent object directories. + +All such extra objects are removed. + +A pack is a collection of objects, individually compressed, with delta +compression applied, stored in a single file, with an associated index file. + +Packs are used to reduce the load on mirror systems, backup engines, disk storage, etc. + +Author +------ +Written by Linus Torvalds + +Documentation +-------------- +Documentation by Ryan Anderson + +See-Also +-------- +git-pack-objects(1) git-repack-script(1) + +GIT +--- +Part of the link:git.html[git] suite + -- cgit v1.2.1
