Hi,
I have tried both the options in small dummy scripts, but somehow i can't differentiate between the two.
find . -name H* -exec ls -l {} \;
find . -name H* | xargs ls -l
Both work the ditto way.
Any help is appreciated. (19 Replies)

GIT-PACK-REDUNDANT(1) Git Manual GIT-PACK-REDUNDANT(1)
NAME
git-pack-redundant - Find redundant pack files
SYNOPSIS
git pack-redundant [ --verbose ] [ --alt-odb ] < --all | .pack filename ... >
DESCRIPTION
This program computes which packs in your repository are redundant. The output is suitable for piping to xargs rm if you are in the root of
the repository.
git pack-redundant accepts a list of objects on standard input. Any objects given will be ignored when checking which packs are required.
This makes the following command useful when wanting to remove packs which contain unreachable objects.
git fsck --full --unreachable | cut -d ' ' -f3 | git pack-redundant --all | xargs rm
OPTIONS
--all
Processes all packs. Any filenames on the command line are ignored.
--alt-odb
Don't require objects present in packs from alternate object directories to be present in local packs.
--verbose
Outputs some statistics to stderr. Has a small performance penalty.
