[--revs [--unpacked | --all]*] [--stdout | base-name] < object-list
@ -110,6 +110,17 @@ base-name::
This flag tells the command not to reuse existing deltas
but compute them from scratch.
--delta-base-offset::
A packed archive can express base object of a delta as
either 20-byte object name or as an offset in the
stream, but older version of git does not understand the
latter. By default, git-pack-objects only uses the
former format for better compatibility. This option
allows the command to use the latter format for
compactness. Depending on the average delta chain
length, this option typically shrinks the resulting
packfile by 3-5 per-cent.
