The command unpack-objects dies upon the first error. This is probably considered a feature -- if a pack is corrupt, instead of trying to extract from it and possibly risking to contaminate a good repository with objects whose validity is dubious, we should seek a good copy of the pack and retry. However, we may not have any good copy anywhere. This implements the last resort effort to extract what are salvageable from such a corrupt pack. This flag might have helped Sergio when recovering from a corrupt pack. In my test, it managed to salvage 247 objects out of a pack that had 251 objects but without it the command stopped after extracting 73 objects. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

NAME

|
|
git-unpack-objects - Unpack objects from a packed archive
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git-unpack-objects' [-n] [-q] [-r] <pack-file
|
|
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Objects that already exist in the repository will *not* be unpacked
|
|
from the pack-file. Therefore, nothing will be unpacked if you use
|
|
this command on a pack-file that exists within the target repository.
|
|
|
|
Please see the `git-repack` documentation for options to generate
|
|
new packs and replace existing ones.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
-n::
|
|
Only list the objects that would be unpacked, don't actually unpack
|
|
them.
|
|
|
|
-q::
|
|
The command usually shows percentage progress. This
|
|
flag suppresses it.
|
|
|
|
-r::
|
|
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 salvage as many objects as
|
|
possible.
