'git verify-pack' [-v|--verbose] [-s|--stat-only] [--] <pack>.idx ...

'git pack-objects' command and verifies idx file and the
corresponding pack file.

OPTIONS
-------
<pack>.idx ...::

--verbose::
	After verifying the pack, show list of objects contained
	in the pack and a histogram of delta chain length.

-s::
--stat-only::

	chain length.  With `--verbose`, list of objects is also shown.

\--::
	Do not interpret any more arguments as options.
