+--objects-edge::
+	Similar to `--objects`, but also print the IDs of
+	excluded commits refixed with a `-` character.  This is
+	used by `git-pack-objects` to build 'thin' pack, which
+	records objects in deltified form based on objects
+	contained in these excluded commits to reduce network
+	traffic.

 --unpacked::
 	Only useful with `--objects`; print the object IDs that
 	are not in packs.
