- .SH "DESCRIPTION"
- .sp
- Read a packed archive (\&.pack) from the standard input, expanding the objects contained within and writing them into the repository in "loose" (one object per file) format\&.
- .sp
- Objects that already exist in the repository will \fBnot\fR be unpacked from the packfile\&. Therefore, nothing will be unpacked if you use this command on a packfile that exists within the target repository\&.
- .sp
- See \fBgit-repack\fR(1) for options to generate new packs and replace existing ones\&.
- .SH "OPTIONS"
- .PP
- \-n
- .RS 4
- Dry run\&. Check the pack file without actually unpacking the objects\&.
- .RE
- .PP
- \-q
- .RS 4
- The command usually shows percentage progress\&. This flag suppresses it\&.

- .PP
- \-r
- .RS 4
- When unpacking a corrupt packfile, the command dies at the first corruption\&. This flag tells it to keep going and make the best effort to recover as many objects as possible\&.
- .RE
- .PP
- \-\-strict
- .RS 4
- Don\(cqt write objects with broken content or links\&.
- .RE
- .PP
- \-\-max\-input\-size=<size>
