Following what appears to be the predominant style, format
names of commands and commandlines both as `teletype text`.
While we're at it, add articles ("a" and "the") in some
places, italicize the name of the command in the manual page
synopsis line, and add a comma or two where it seems appropriate.

============

NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-prune - Prune all unreachable objects from the object database
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git-prune' [-n] [--expire <expire>] [--] [<head>...]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
NOTE: In most cases, users should run `git-gc`, which calls
|
|
`git-prune`. See the section "NOTES", below.
|
|
|
|
This runs `git-fsck --unreachable` using all the refs
|
|
available in `$GIT_DIR/refs`, optionally with additional set of
|
|
objects specified on the command line, and prunes all unpacked
|
|
objects unreachable from any of these head objects from the object database.
|
|
In addition, it
|
|
prunes the unpacked objects that are also found in packs by
|
|
running `git-prune-packed`.
|
|
|
|
Note that unreachable, packed objects will remain. If this is
|
|
not desired, see linkgit:git-repack[1].
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
-n::
|
|
Do not remove anything; just report what it would
|
|
remove.
|
|
|
|
\--::
|
|
Do not interpret any more arguments as options.
|
|
|
|
--expire <time>::
|
|
Only expire loose objects older than <time>.
|
|
|
|
<head>...::
|
|
In addition to objects
|
|
reachable from any of our references, keep objects
|
|
reachable from listed <head>s.
|
|
|
|
EXAMPLE
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
To prune objects not used by your repository nor another that
|
|
borrows from your repository via its
|
|
`.git/objects/info/alternates`:
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
$ git prune $(cd ../another && $(git rev-parse --all))
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Notes
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
In most cases, users will not need to call `git-prune` directly, but
|
|
should instead call `git-gc`, which handles pruning along with
|
|
many other housekeeping tasks.
|
|
|
|
For a description of which objects are considered for pruning, see
|
|
`git-fsck`'s --unreachable option.
