| .SH "NAME" |
| git-unpack-objects \- Unpack objects from a packed archive |
| .SH "SYNOPSIS" |

| .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\&. |
| .RE |
| .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> |
| .RS 4 |
| Die, if the pack is larger than <size>\&. |
