15DESCRIPTION
16-----------
17Read a packed archive (.pack) from the standard input, expanding
18the objects contained within and writing them into the repository in
19"loose" (one object per file) format.
20
21Objects that already exist in the repository will *not* be unpacked
22from the packfile. Therefore, nothing will be unpacked if you use
23this command on a packfile that exists within the target repository.
24
25See linkgit:git-repack[1] for options to generate
26new packs and replace existing ones.
27
28OPTIONS
29-------
30-n::
31 Dry run. Check the pack file without actually unpacking
32 the objects.
33
34-q::
35 The command usually shows percentage progress. This
36 flag suppresses it.
37
38-r::
39 When unpacking a corrupt packfile, the command dies at
40 the first corruption. This flag tells it to keep going
41 and make the best effort to recover as many objects as
42 possible.
43
44--strict::
45 Don't write objects with broken content or links.
46
47--max-input-size=<size>::
48 Die, if the pack is larger than <size>.
