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

Reads given idx file for packed Git archive created with the git pack-objects command and verifies the idx file and the corresponding pack file.

<pack>.idx ...

The idx files to verify.

-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.

--

Do not interpret any more arguments as options.

When specifying the -v option the format used is:

SHA-1 type size size-in-packfile offset-in-packfile

for objects that are not deltified in the pack, and

SHA-1 type size size-in-packfile offset-in-packfile depth base-SHA-1

for objects that are deltified.
