SYNOPSIS

git-repack-script

DESCRIPTION

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.
