Hi,
git-verify-pack's man page says the following about --stat-only:
Do not verify the pack contents; only show the histogram of delta chain length. With --verbose, list of objects is also shown.
However, there is no difference of output between --verbose and --verbose --stat-only (and in fact, looking at the code, only one of them has an effect, --stat-only having precedence).
The text above also implies that this should only display the stats without doing any sha1 validation, but afaict from a quick glance at the index-pack code, they are always performed.
Is it an implementation problem or a documentation problem?
Cheers,
Mike
