From 3df196716eb89e752c96cf252d5c712387a7c112 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dennis Stosberg Date: Fri, 6 Oct 2006 11:15:03 +0200 Subject: Add default values for --window and --depth to the docs Currently, you actually have to read the source to find out the default values. While at it, fix two typos and suggest that these options actually take a parameter in git-pack-objects.txt.
