+=====================
+
+NAME
+----
+git-pack-redundant - Find redundant pack files
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'git pack-redundant' [--verbose] [--alt-odb] (--all | <pack-filename>...)
+
+WARNING
+-------
+`git pack-redundant` has been deprecated and is scheduled for removal in
+a future version of Git. 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
+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.
