git-repack-script - Script used to pack a repository from a collection of objects into pack files.
git-repack-script
This script is used to combine all objects that do not currently reside in a "pack", into a pack.
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.
