.SH "NAME"
git\-pack\-redundant \- Find redundant pack files
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
\fIgit\-pack\-redundant\fR [ \-\-verbose ] [ \-\-alt\-odb ] < \-\-all | .pack filename \&... >
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
This program computes which packs in your repository are redundant. The output is suitable for piping to \fIxargs rm\fR if you are in the root of the repository.

git\-pack\-redundant accepts a list of objects on standard input. Any objects given will be ignored when checking which packs are required. This makes the following command useful when wanting to remove packs which contain unreachable objects.

git\-fsck \-\-full \-\-unreachable | cut \-d \fI \fR \-f3 | git\-pack\-redundant \-\-all | xargs rm
.SH "OPTIONS"
.TP
\-\-all
Processes all packs. Any filenames on the command line are ignored.
.TP
\-\-alt\-odb
Don't require objects present in packs from alternate object directories to be present in local packs.
.TP
\-\-verbose
Outputs some statistics to stderr. Has a small performance penalty.
