gi-verif-pack - Validate packed Git archive files

git verify-pack [-v | --verbose] [-s | --stat-only] [--] <pack>.idx...:

Read each idx file for packed Git archive given on the command line, and verify the idx file and the corresponding pack file.

-v, --verbose

: After verifying the pack, show the list of objects contained in the pack and a histogram of delta chain length.

-s, --stat-only

: Do not verify the pack contents; only show the histogram of delta chain length. With --verbose, the list of objects is also shown.

When specifying the -v option the format used is:

object-name type size size-in-packfile offset-in-packfile

for objects that are not deltified in the pack, and

object-name type size size-in-packfile offset-in-packfile depth base-object-name

for objects that are deltified.
