6 git-unpack-objects - Unpack objects from a packed archive
11 'git-unpack-objects' [-n] [-q] <pack-file
16 Read a packed archive (.pack) from the standard input, expanding
17 the objects contained within and writing them into the repository in
18 "loose" (one object per file) format.
20 Objects that already exist in the repository will *not* be unpacked
21 from the pack-file. Therefore, nothing will be unpacked if you use
22 this command on a pack-file that exists within the target repository.
24 Please see the `git-repack` documentation for options to generate
25 new packs and replace existing ones.
30 Only list the objects that would be unpacked, don't actually unpack
34 The command usually shows percentage progress. This
