+=====================

+NAME
+----
+git-pack-redundant - Find redundant pack files
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'git pack-redundant' [--verbose] [--alt-odb] (--all | <pack-filename>...)
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+This program computes which packs in your repository
+are redundant. The output is suitable for piping to
+`xargs rm` if you are in the root of the repository.
+
+'git pack-redundant' accepts a list of objects on standard input. Any objects
+given will be ignored when checking which packs are required. This makes the
+following command useful when wanting to remove packs which contain unreachable
+objects.
+
+git fsck --full --unreachable | cut -d ' ' -f3 | \
+git pack-redundant --all | xargs rm
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+
+
+--all::
+ Processes all packs. Any filenames on the command line are ignored.
+
+--alt-odb::
+ Don't require objects present in packs from alternate object
+ database (odb) directories to be present in local packs.
+
+--verbose::
+ Outputs some statistics to stderr. Has a small performance penalty.
