DESCRIPTION
-----------
Update git-unpack-objects documentation. Document that git-unpack-objects will not produce any results when used on a pack that exists in a repository; move it first. Signed-off-by: Sean Estabrooks <seanlkml@sympatico.ca> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

Read a packed archive (.pack) from the standard input, expanding
the objects contained within and writing them into the repository in
"loose" (one object per file) format.
Objects that already exist in the repository will *not* be unpacked
from the pack-file. Therefore, nothing will be unpacked if you use
this command on a pack-file that exists within the target repository.
Please see the `git-repack` documentation for options to generate
new packs and replace existing ones.

Dry run. Check the pack file without actually unpacking
the objects.

-q::
The command usually shows percentage progress. This
flag suppresses it.
unpack-objects desperately salvages objects from a corrupt pack The command unpack-objects dies upon the first error. This is probably considered a feature -- if a pack is corrupt, instead of trying to extract from it and possibly risking to contaminate a good repository with objects whose validity is dubious, we should seek a good copy of the pack and retry. However, we may not have any good copy anywhere. This implements the last resort effort to extract what are salvageable from such a corrupt pack. This flag might have helped Sergio when recovering from a corrupt pack. In my test, it managed to salvage 247 objects out of a pack that had 251 objects but without it the command stopped after extracting 73 objects. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

-r::
When unpacking a corrupt packfile, the command dies at
the first corruption. This flag tells it to keep going
unpack-objects -r: call it "recover". The code called this operation "desperate" but the option flag is -r and the word "recover" describes what it does better. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

unpack-objects: prevent writing of inconsistent objects This patch introduces a strict mode, which ensures that: - no malformed object will be written - no object with broken links will be written The patch ensures this by delaying the write of all non blob object. These object are written, after all objects they link to are written. An error can only result in unreferenced objects.
