+NAME
+----
+git-multi-pack-index - Write and verify multi-pack-indexes
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'git multi-pack-index' [--object-dir=<dir>] <subcommand>
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Write or verify a multi-pack-index (MIDX) file.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+
+--object-dir=<dir>::
+	Use given directory for the location of Git objects. We check
+	`<dir>/packs/multi-pack-index` for the current MIDX file, and
+	`<dir>/packs` for the pack-files to index.
+
+The following subcommands are available:
+
+write::
+	Write a new MIDX file.
+
+verify::
+	Verify the contents of the MIDX file.
+
+expire::
+	Delete the pack-files that are tracked 	by the MIDX file, but
+	have no objects referenced by the MIDX. Rewrite the MIDX file
+	afterward to remove all references to these pack-files.
+
+repack::
+	Create a new pack-file containing objects in small pack-files
+	referenced by the multi-pack-index. If the size given by the
+	`--batch-size=<size>` argument is zero, then create a pack
+	containing all objects referenced by the multi-pack-index. For
+	a non-zero batch size, Select the pack-files by examining packs
+	from oldest-to-newest, computing the "expected size" by counting
+	the number of objects in the pack referenced by the
+	multi-pack-index, then divide by the total number of objects in
+	the pack and multiply by the pack size. We select packs with
+	expected size below the batch size until the set of packs have
+	total expected size at least the batch size. If the total size
+	does not reach the batch size, then do nothing. If a new pack-
+	file is created, rewrite the multi-pack-index to reference the
+	new pack-file. A later run of 'git multi-pack-index expire' will
+	delete the pack-files that were part of this batch.
+
+
