  38. .sp
  39. \fBgit\fR \fBpack\-redundant\fR 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 \fBgit\fR \fBgc\fR to do so, which will put objects into a new pack, removing duplicates\&.
  40. .sp
  41. Running \fBpack\-redundant\fR without the \fB\-\-i\-still\-use\-this\fR flag will fail in this release\&. If you believe you have a use case for which \fBpack\-redundant\fR is better suited and oppose this removal, please contact the Git mailing list at \m[blue]\fBgit@vger\&.kernel\&.org\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[1]\d\s+2\&. More information about the list is available at \m[blue]\fBhttps://git\-scm\&.com/community\fR\m[]\&.
  42. .SH "DESCRIPTION"
  43. .sp
  44. This program computes which packs in your repository are redundant\&. The output is suitable for piping to \fBxargs\fR \fBrm\fR if you are in the root of the repository\&.
  45. .sp
  46. \fIgit pack\-redundant\fR 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\&.
