+\fBgit pack\-redundant\fR has been deprecated and is scheduled for removal in a future version of Git\&. Because it can only remove entire duplicate packs and not individual duplicate objects, it is generally not a useful tool for reducing repository size\&. You are better off using \fBgit gc\fR to do so, which will put objects into a new pack, removing duplicates\&.
+.sp
+Running \fBpack\-redundant\fR without the \fB\-\-i\-still\-use\-this\fR flag will fail in this release\&. If you believe you have a use case for which \fBpack\-redundant\fR is better suited and oppose this removal, please contact the Git mailing list at \m[blue]\fBgit@vger\&.kernel\&.org\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[1]\d\s+2\&. More information about the list is available at \m[blue]\fBhttps://git\-scm\&.com/community\fR\m[]\&.
