Because it can only remove entire duplicate +packs and not individual duplicate objects, it is generally not a useful +tool for reducing repository size. You are better off using `git gc` to +do so, which will put objects into a new pack, removing duplicates. + +Running `pack-redundant` without the `--i-still-use-this` flag will fail +in this release. If you believe you have a use case for which +`pack-redundant` is better suited and oppose this removal, please +contact the Git mailing list at git@vger.kernel.org. More information +about the list is available at https://git-scm.com/community. + DESCRIPTION ----------- This program computes which packs in your repository |
