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

       corresponding pack file.

	   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.

OUTPUT FORMAT
       When specifying the -v option the format used is:

	   object-name type size size-in-packfile offset-in-packfile

       for objects that are not deltified in the pack, and
