Junio C Hamano e31bb3bb93 [PATCH] Add documentation for git repack and git-prune-packed.
[jc: the patch forgot to update the main git.txt documentation,
making all these new documentation practically no-op, so I added
a minimum attempt linking them from there.]

NAME
----
git-repack-script - Script used to pack a repository from a collection of
objects into pack files.
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-repack-script'
DESCRIPTION
-----------
This script is used to combine all objects that do not currently reside in a

compression applied, stored in a single file, with an associated index file.
Packs are used to reduce the load on mirror systems, backup engines, disk storage, etc.
