The command usually removes loose refs under `$GIT_DIR/refs`
hierarchy after packing them. This option tells it not to.
+--auto::
+
+Pack refs as needed depending on the current state of the ref database. The
+behavior depends on the ref format used by the repository and may change in the
+future.
++
+ - "files": No special handling for `--auto` has been implemented.
++
+ - "reftable": Tables are compacted such that they form a geometric
+ sequence. For two tables N and N+1, where N+1 is newer, this
+ maintains the property that N is at least twice as big as N+1. Only
+ tables that violate this property are compacted.
+
--include <pattern>::
Pack refs based on a `glob(7)` pattern. Repetitions of this option
