GIT-PRUNE-PACKED(1) Git Manual GIT-PRUNE-PACKED(1)NAME
git-prune-packed - Remove extra objects that are already in pack files
SYNOPSIS
git prune-packed [-n|--dry-run] [-q|--quiet]
DESCRIPTION
This program searches the $GIT_OBJECT_DIR for all objects that currently exist in a pack file as well as the independent object
directories.
All such extra objects are removed.
A pack is a collection of objects, individually compressed, with delta 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.
OPTIONS -n, --dry-run
Don't actually remove any objects, only show those that would have been removed.
-q, --quiet
Squelch the progress indicator.

git-prune - Prune all unreachable objects from the object database
SYNOPSIS
git prune [-n] [-v] [--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 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 git-repack(1).
OPTIONS -n
Do not remove anything; just report what it would remove.
-v
Report all removed objects.
--
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:
.ft C
$ git prune $(cd ../another && $(git rev-parse --all))
.ft
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.

Hello,
Last night I applied a DB2 fix pack which is now causing problems with the application that uses db2. Prior to applying the fix pack I did a mksysb(rootvg) which includes the file system that has db2 installed on it. If I do a restore from this will it restore the db2 version back to... (1 Reply)
Apologies if this is the wrong forum but...
