From 6a7bcb54714c55234a292047ea6bb657bd5ab1b5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff King Date: Mon, 13 Jun 2016 00:33:54 -0400 Subject: repack: document --unpack-unreachable option This was added back in 7e52f56 (gc: do not explode objects which will be immediately pruned, 2012-04-07), but not documented at the time, since it was an internal detail between git-gc and git-repack. However, as people with complicated setups may want to effectively reimplement the steps of git-gc themselves, it is nice for us to document these interfaces.
