| 15 | DESCRIPTION |
| 16 | ----------- |
| 17 | This program searches the `$GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY` for all objects that currently |
| 18 | exist in a pack file as well as in the independent object directories. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | All such extra objects are removed. |

| 22 | A pack is a collection of objects, individually compressed, with delta |
| 23 | compression applied, stored in a single file, with an associated index file. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | Packs are used to reduce the load on mirror systems, backup engines, |
| 26 | disk storage, etc. |
