15DESCRIPTION
16-----------
17This program searches the `$GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY` for all objects that currently
18exist in a pack file as well as in the independent object directories.
19
20All such extra objects are removed.
21
22A pack is a collection of objects, individually compressed, with delta
23compression applied, stored in a single file, with an associated index file.
24
25Packs are used to reduce the load on mirror systems, backup engines,
26disk storage, etc.
